At Phoenix Senior Living, our sense of community extends far beyond our walls. It’s about creating meaningful engagement with the people, organizations and generations around us.
We’re proud to partner with Southeastern Louisiana University Football as a jersey patch sponsor for the 2026 season. The Phoenix Senior Living logo will be featured on the Lions’ uniforms throughout the season, building on our shared connection to the Hammond community.
With The Phoenix at Hammond located just minutes from Southeastern’s campus and Strawberry Stadium, this partnership is especially meaningful. But for us, it represents more than supporting a hometown team. It reflects our commitment to intergenerational engagement.
Why Intergenerational Connections Matter
Bringing older adults and young people together allows them to learn from one another, share experiences and build relationships that might not otherwise happen.
Older adults have decades of stories, knowledge, traditions and perspectives to share. Students and younger adults bring their own experiences, ideas and energy to our communities. When those generations meet, everyone has something to learn and contribute.
That sense of shared purpose and belonging is at the heart of our SLU partnership. As Phoenix Senior Living founder and CEO Jesse Marinko shared, football has a unique ability to bring students, families, alumni, residents and longtime fans together as one community.
Creating Connections Beyond Game Day
Our support of Southeastern Louisiana Football is only the beginning. Phoenix Senior Living is also looking forward to exploring opportunities to connect their students and student-athletes with residents at our Louisiana senior living communities.
Whether those bonds happen through conversations, shared activities, community events or simply cheering on the Lions, they create opportunities for relationships that span generations.
Because meaningful engagement has no age limit. And when generations come together, our entire community becomes stronger.
