well don't let your non-resident status discourage you from "donating" to a great cause...there is a link to just donate via paypal and it can be as little as $25 - every little bit helps!

when are you going to deliver? I've had my order in for 2 years!


my understanding is the plates will start being issued as soon as the required manufacturing fee is raised and that all depends on how much "support" we get with this final push to make it happen. most of us have had our order in since the first time this program got started 2 years ago, but the Atlanta chapter alumni board has struggled to raise the necessary funds and is now making a big final push to spread the word and encourage everyone to contribute whatever they can to reach the funding goal we need to get the plates manufactured...we're almost there, just need everyone to spread the word and get their orders/donations in now!

PS - I'm not on the Alumni board. I am just an active member of the ATL chapter that REALLY wants an LSU license plate, so I'm doing my part to help spread the word, foster the program and solicit interest to help make this a reality. Personally, I've ordered multiple plates and made cash donations (as much as I can afford) - now, I'm trying to support the cause by spreading the word with these forums. I've also worked with the LSU Alumni Association to get an article written that will be published in the next issues of their newsletter and magazine.

So, the most recent update - we're making awesome progress...keep getting your donations/orders in and keep spreading the word.

We raised almost $3000 in the past 2 weeks and we have just gotten an anonymous pledge to match the next $3500 dollar for dollar. The LSU Atlanta chapter has also agreed to match the remaining $1500 dollar for dollar to get us to our goal.

This means, we only need to raise another $5000 from the community at large and we'll have our goal to pay for the plates manufacturing fee. Every little bit counts, so if you can donate even just $25 (more is better) or if you haven't ordered your plate yet, do it now. GEAUX TIGERS!

Just ordered two of them. I have been wanting one since a couple of years ago when they started talking about them at the DMV. They never could tell me why they weren't getting them. Thanks for the push.

I drive a bright yellow corvette with a 3-foot-diameter Tiger Eye on the hood and a vanity plate that says "TigerEye." But I'm not about to take it to T-town; only home games.

I am considering it, and have a big family of LSU fans living in Atlanta, many of which may want to do this, but I am a little cautious that this is a scam right now, anyone have any proof otherwise?

It's legit. LSU Atlanta is running it. And every school that wants a license plate in every state ever has had to go through this. Texas Tigers had people reminding everyone to donate or sign up for a tag on here too.

LATEST UPDATE!

We've raised $23,100 towards the $25,000 goal. with the matching program in place, we only need another $950 to get our LSU plates into production. That's only 38 more license plates or a handful of people to make a few extra donations...keep spreading the word, if you haven't ordered yet - don't wait and if you can spread a little extra holiday cheer then send in a donation. This will be the perfect way to end an epic football season!
