The Pursuit is sponsored by Cadence Bank. Attendees will enjoy great food, cold drinks, and lots of Warhawk spirit. All proceeds from The Pursuit go to benefit student-athlete scholarships through the Warhawk Athletic Foundation.
Attendees will also be the first to see the brand new 2024 Warhawk Football uniforms and have the chance to purchase the latest ULM gear before it goes on sale anywhere else. Before the program, attendees will have the opportunity to play as the ULM Warhawks in the new College Football 25 video game alongside ULM football players.
Speakers at the event include new ULM Head Football Coach Bryant Vincent, ULM President Dr. Ron Berry, and ULM Director of Athletics John Hartwell.
The Pursuit is named in honor of the Curtis P-40 “Warhawk” fighter planes, flown by Gen. Claire Lee Chennault's Flying Tigers during World War II. The ULM Warhawk mascot takes its name from the planes, which featured iconic noses painted with an open shark’s mouth with jagged teeth.
