The Timber Jacks Group announces a donation drive to assist Northern Arizona University football student-athletes to leverage their “name, image, and likeness” in supporting charitable causes in Flagstaff and across Arizona.
—
The Timber Jacks Group’s recently announced donation drive aims to help Northern Arizona University (NAU) football scholar-athletes form partnerships with nonprofit organizations wherein the students can leverage their “name, image, and likeness” (NIL) to promote the nonprofits’ philanthropic endeavors. The donation drive’s ultimate goal is to enable NAU football student-athletes to use their reputations to contribute to the social good of the Flagstaff community and the state of Arizona at large.

The group’s donation drive comes nearly a year after NAU Athletics’ launch of the Lumberjack Exchange, a university-hosted online registry that allows local and state businesses, donors, and alumni to connect with the university’s student-athletes. The Timber Jacks Group’s donation drive complements the aims of the Lumberjack Exchange, but with an emphasis on forging nonprofit partnerships.
In 2021, changes to state laws and the NCAA’s (National Collegiate Athletic Association’s) NIL policies permitted college athletes more latitude to benefit from their NIL rights without risking their college eligibility. In June 2021, the NCAA launched interim NIL policies, allowing student-athletes to profit from their NIL rights as of July 1, 2021.
These legislative changes grant NAU football student-athletes greater freedom to monetize their personal brands. With their campaign, the Timber Jacks Group hopes to build bridges between student-athletes’ NIL opportunities and local and state charitable initiatives.
The drive also offers nonprofit leaders an opportunity to help NAU student-athletes to use their NIL rights for community service and social impact. Individuals may donate to the group in amounts ranging from $100 to $5,000, or in an amount of their choosing.
The Timber Jacks Group is led by NAU football legends Terry Mahan, Mike Mendoza, and Chris Baniszewski, along with Chris Scott. The group hosts regular fundraisers and other community-building events in support of NAU’s Lumberjack student-athletes.
“The Timber Jacks Group empowers Lumberjack student-athletes by leveraging their name, image, and likeness for a positive community impact,” a group representative said. “Through partnerships with nonprofit organizations, student-athletes harness NIL to amplify important charitable causes, enrich our community, and create a lasting commitment to civic engagement with the city of Flagstaff and the state of Arizona.”
