The TLSN Board of Directors wishes all Longhorn families good health, good luck, good families, good jobs, and goodwill. However, if tragedy strikes, TLSN will offer temporary financial assistance to qualifying former Longhorn student-athletes, managers, trainers, coaches, and their immediate families when needed. TLSN, Texas Legacy Support Network is a 501(c)(3) Texas nonprofit corporation with two missions.
1) sharing the history of all Longhorn sports from inception to 2014.
2) offering temporary financial support to former Longhorn student-athletes who have fallen through societal safety nets caused by a catastrophic setback in life through no fault of their own. TLSN has offered financial grants ranging from $2000 to $45,000, which were made possible through the generosity of donors. Donations allow TLSN to fulfill its commitment to preserve Longhorn sports history and support those in need.
For inquiries related to Longhorn sports history, requests to add photos or text to the TLSN website, or questions about the TLSN mission, please contact Billydale1@Gmail.com
