BATON ROUGE – In what has become a Halloween Tradition on campus, LSU student-athletes, coaches and staff members from all sports distributed candy and played games with children at the Halloween BOOzar on Sorority Row over the weekend.
The BOOzar, now in its 22nd year, is an event that connects LSU student-athletes and coaches with the community. The BOOzar is part of LSU’s Trick or Treat Down the Row.
“This is a great event for our student-athletes and our coaches as it gives them the opportunity to connect with members of our community in a fun atmosphere,” LSU Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Joe Alleva said. “You can certainly see how much our student-athletes enjoyed being part of this community event.”
Taking pictures and getting autographs from LSU student-athletes were also a big part of the afternoon.
This is an amazing event,” LSU softball pitcher Allie Walljasper said. “Having this event is a great way for the kids and parents to get to know the student-athletes and it’s exciting to see what something like this means to our community.”
Myia Hambrick from the LSU gymnastics team agreed, “This is a big event for our community. We like being able to interact with the kids, dress up and be part of this day. It gives you a great sense of community and the impact LSU student-athletes can have on families.”
