About the Tiger Bech Memorial Fund:

The Bech family will advise where and when the funds are granted to help make a difference in Acadiana and beyond. Funds created at a community foundation are established to be transferred to 501c3 organizations (a nonprofit, church, or school), as they discern what type of charitable causes or focus areas they want to support on Tiger's behalf.

We mourn the loss of Martin "Tiger" Bech, Jr. Tiger was among 14 people who were killed and dozens more who were injured after a vehicle drove into a crowd on New Orleans’ Canal and Bourbon Streets early morning on January 1, in what the FBI is investigating as an act of terrorism.

Tiger played football at St. Thomas More Catholic High School before going on to play at Princeton. He graduated from Princeton in 2021 and was a member of the University Cottage Club. Tiger worked as a junior bond trader at the Wall Street brokerage firm, Seaport Global. Please pray for Tiger and all of the victims of the New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans. #7 to Heaven
