When Tigers Unite, Communities Thrive

 Founded with a passion for community and a love for Tiger Athletics, our nonprofit began as a grassroots effort to bring the excitement of game day to the youth of Clemson, Seneca, and surrounding Upstate South Carolina communities. What started with a handful of donated tickets and a dream to fill empty seats with cheering young fans quickly grew into a movement—one that connects local youth organizations with the spirit and pride of Clemson sports.

We recognized that the roar of the crowd, the thrill of competition, and the unity of fandom could be more than just entertainment—they could be a catalyst for belonging, inspiration, and joy. By partnering with generous donors and leveraging the power of local networks, we’ve helped thousands of kids experience the magic of Tiger Athletics firsthand.

Over the years, our mission has expanded beyond the stadium. We’ve become a bridge between athletics and community, fostering mentorship, shared experiences, and a sense of pride that echoes far beyond the final whistle. Every ticket donated is more than a seat filled—it’s a memory made, a dream sparked, and a community strengthened.

At Tigers Give Back, we connect local youth with the excitement of Clemson Athletics by redistributing donated and unused game tickets. Through our efforts, we create unforgettable experiences for kids who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attends, fostering a love for sports and community spirit. 

With the support of generous donors and partners, we transform empty seats into moments of belonging, pride, and inspiration--strengthening community bonds and empowering the next generation with the values of teamwork, perseverance, and possibility.
Beyond the game-day experience, we strive to inspire the next generation by building lasting connections between Clemson Athletics and the community.  Our mission is to not only open stadium doors, but also to open hearts--empowering youth with a sense of belonging, pride, and possibility.
Our vision is a future where every child has the chance to experience the excitement of Clemson Athletics, no seat goes unused, and the power of sports unites our community. We strive to inspire the next generation with opportunities that spark lifelong passions, instill the values of teamwork and perseverance, and open doors to new possibilities--both on and off the court.

Our team is made up of dedicated individuals who are passionate about making a difference in the world. From our volunteers to our board members, everyone at Tigers Give Back is committed to our mission and the children we serve.
