Get ready, baseball fans! The Southeastern Louisiana University baseball program is gearing up for its annual Lion Baseball Auction, presented by WiseGuys Daiquiris, and it's an event you won't want to miss! Mark your calendars for January 17, 2026, and head over to the ballroom of Southeastern's War Memorial Student Union.

The evening kicks off with a cocktail hour from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., giving you a chance to mingle and get excited for the night ahead. The dress code is business casual, so come prepared to look your best while supporting your favorite team.

The event promises an unforgettable experience, including a delicious dinner, a cash bar to keep the spirits high, and both live and silent auctions brimming with exciting items. Individual tickets are priced at $75, a steal for a night of fun and philanthropy. Children 12 and under can join in the fun for just $25.

For businesses or groups, consider reserving a corporate sponsor table. For $1000, you'll secure a table for eight, along with some fantastic perks. Each sponsor table receives two bottles of wine, premium seating, recognition in the event program, and a special Marucci Centennial Commemorative bat signed by the 2026 Lion Baseball team. You'll also have the option of having a Lion Baseball player seated at your table, and you'll receive an SLU Baseball jersey.

But here's where it gets exciting: All proceeds from the auction directly benefit the Southeastern baseball program, helping to fund the team's training, equipment, and overall success.

Don't delay! Secure your spot now by purchasing tickets online at www.LionSports.net/BaseballAuction.
