EBR Schools Kick Off Football Season With Battle on the Bluff Fundraiser

East Baton Rouge Parish School Board member Emily Soule and Lester Ricard join Mornings With Brian Haldane to promote the upcoming Battle on the Bluff football jamboree at Southern University’s A.W. Mumford Stadium. The two-night event features 12 EBR high school teams, with proceeds returning directly to the participating schools. Soule and Ricard also highlight Band Together, a fundraising campaign that provides new uniforms for EBR high school marching bands. They encourage alumni, families, and community members to support students by attending the games, purchasing tickets, or donating to the campaign. The conversation emphasizes the importance of supporting students who demonstrate commitment through academics, athletics, music, teamwork, and leadership.
