FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW ORLEANS, LA, March 31, 2022 — As March Madness® and the Men’s Final Four® reaches its crescendo in New Orleans, LG Electronics USA, an official NCAA® partner, announced today it has committed $150,000 in funding as well as product to St. Augustine High School, a New Orleans-based college preparatory school.
The pledge from LG will establish the “LG Life’s Good Endowed Scholarship Fund” at the school as well as contribute to the rebuild of the school’s flood and fire-damaged basketball court. LG is also supplying a range of products including LG OLED TVs for a new film room in its Health & Wellness Center, LG Washers & Dryers for a new laundry room and LG Air Purifiers for use throughout the school. The LG Life’s Good Endowed Scholarship Fund, which will award its first recipient this year, is a need-based general award that all St. Augustine High School graduating seniors can apply for as long as they are going to attend an NCAA school.1
“We are truly grateful for this inspiring commitment from LG,” said Aulston Taylor, President & CEO at St. Augustine High School. “The St. Augustine community is thrilled that LG has decided to invest in the future of our students and our school. Our basketball court and Health & Wellness Center are a symbol of resiliency at St. Augustine, as it has emerged stronger after Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Ida, and most recently a fire on Thanksgiving Day last year. With the help of friends like LG and many other supporters of our school, we are on the path to rebuilding our facility to its former glory. We will prevail!”
St. Augustine High School is an all-boys Catholic high school founded in 1951. Educating students primarily of predominantly African American backgrounds, the school serves as a training ground for leadership through academic excellence and moral values. It is also home to the world-renowned marching band, “Marching 100”, which was the first high school band to march in the Rex Parade on Mardi Gras Day in 1967. The band has since played for eight U.S. Presidents, and performed at five Super Bowls, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC, and the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California. The band will perform at the halftime of this year’s second Final Four game. To learn more about St. Augustine High School’s fund raising efforts, please visit staugnola.org/lg
LG’s commitment to St. Augustine High School arose as part of a three-year partnership with the NCAA, Turner Sports, and CBS Sports for category exclusive marketing and distribution rights to NCAA Championship competitions, including March Madness, that will expand the reach of college sports to legions of current fans and generations of new ones. LG's support of the NCAA Championships will include multiple initiatives to inspire fans and support student athletes including the recent launch of the NCAA Championships Channel (Channel 100), which will feature up to 50 NCAA Fall, Winter and Spring championships, both live and on-demand via LG’s exclusive free streaming service, LG Channels.
