The Great Cause
The LAIR Fund, the lifeblood of Eastern Illinois Athletics, provides annual funding for scholarships, academic support services, and leadership programs that provide Eastern Illinois University’s more than 430 student-athletes with the resources they need to become well rounded individuals, compete at the NCAA Division I level, and engage in a lifelong pursuit of learning.
Investing in the future of a student-athlete through contributing to the LAIR Fund represents your commitment to Eastern Illinois Athletics as alumni, fans, and generous supporters. The financial gifts you provide ultimately transform young adults into future leaders, provide resources for student-athletes to achieve their potential in the classroom, allow student-athletes to develop integrity through personal and professional challenges, and provide student-athletes with opportunities to become responsible representatives of Eastern Illinois University.
Your generous donations to the LAIR Fund make a lasting impact on the lives of all of our student-athletes. Eastern Illinois University's Department of Athletics is proud to highlight some of the many success stories in a quarterly campaign, Result of the LAIR Fund. Recipients are chosen based on nominations from EIU faculty and staff, coaches, administrators, community members and teammates. Nominate a Result of the LAIR Fund candidate here!
