Lawyer and partner at AMO Trial Lawyers, President of CAA Board and creator of ThiboGROW Inc. Matthew Ory said, “We have been so inspired by the recent transformation of Nicholls athletic facilities that we felt we needed to do our part to make them even better. In times like this, every dollar counts.”

The Colonel Athletic Association is the principal fundraising organization of the Nicholls State University Athletics Department. The CAA provides a way for alumni, family, friends and fans to help Nicholls student-athletes receive an education while also pursuing their athletic careers. The association’s primary focus is to provide opportunities and support for Nicholls Athletics’ most important assets, its people, and to raise funds for facility enhancements and operational expenses.


Nicholls Athletics relies on the generous support of donors to support each of its 17 Division 1 sports teams, cheer squad, athletic trainers and 350+ student athletes. Every donor makes a difference and each gift, regardless of size, has a direct impact on all student-athletes here at Nicholls.

The CAA offers six membership levels with various corresponding benefits to the donor. Any person interested in joining the CAA can do so with cash, check, or credit card. Memberships can be paid in full or by installment. All contributions to the CAA are recognized on a July 1st to June 30th fiscal year.
