Help SLU and Texas A&M Secure Their Trophies
Donation protected
Earlier this year, Saint Louis University's League of Legends team and Texas A&M's VALORANT team won the official North American College Championship for their respective titles. They were informed after winning that Riot would not be paying for their trophy replicas, as they had done for all prior years' teams, due to cuts. The trophies cost approximately $10,000 each.
These players, team staff, faculty advisors, and program directors put their hearts and souls into their sport, and they deserve to have the pieces of esports history that they wrote. These teams do not have $10,000 to spend on the trophy that they won. Let's come together as a community to show them that we have their backs!
Funds will be split across both programs to cover the costs of trophy creation, chrome plating, team customization, and shipping. Any excess funds will be split equally to the two programs as additional reward for their success.
