The role of a coach is paramount to the student-athlete experience as they serve as a mentor and leader during a pivotal time in their lives. Robert ‘Bo’ Lyons was the type of coach who inspired and transformed the lives of his players long after their playing days. He never stopped looking for ways to support his student-athletes on and off the field, and he was dedicated to helping each player leave Northeastern as a better person.

Former players have come together to honor Coach Lyons and ensure his continuing legacy by establishing the Bo Lyons Leadership Fund. Gifts to this fund will support leadership and life skills development for our varsity student-athletes, providing opportunities to enhance their academic, athletic, career, and personal growth.

An anonymous supporter will generously match all donations up to $20,000 to reach the cash activation goal and we need your help - join the effort today as we honor Coach Lyons and his legacy.
