AUBIE CLAUS
Aubie Claus is the Aubie Program's premier fundraising event held annually since 2012. This event gives Auburn fans the unique opportunity to meet Aubie the Tiger in a calm and controlled environment, while taking holiday-themed photos with their favorite tiger.
A unique shopping experience is presented in partnership with Alumni Hall for exclusive Aubie Claus merchandise. All proceeds to participate in Aubie Claus and a portion of proceeds from the shop directly support the Aubie Program, and Aubie's participation in the UCA National Championship competition!
To provide the most fair opportunity possible for everyone to participate, time slots for Aubie Claus will be determined by a pre-qualification drawing.

A professional photographer will be onsite taking pictures, and you will receive high-resolution digital files (jpeg) of your poses with Aubie via the email address provided at registration.

Yes. Parking is available and will be relayed to participants via email closer to Aubie Claus.
There is no specific recommended outfit, but Aubie's Santa costume is orange and blue. Often, families will wear orange and blue or Auburn gear to coordinate with Aubie Claus.
Feel free to bring any props you would like in your picture, but, again, please remember that time is limited so have them ready before it is your turn! For the safety of your pet and other participants, pets are not permitted.
Service animals are welcome. Our policy, consistent with the ADA's revised guidelines, defines "service animal" as limited to a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the individual's disability. Service animals must be harnessed, leashed or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal's work or the individual's disability prevents him or her from using these devices. Individuals who cannot use such devices must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective methods.
All funds raised during Aubie Claus go directly to the Aubie Program. Specifically, these funds re-used to help Aubie compete in the UCA Mascot National Championship in Orlando, FL. Props, costumes, transportation and housing for the competition is quite expensive, so this fundraiser helps Aubie and his team compete for his 12th national championship!
Images for each participant/group will be sent to the email provided during registration within five (5) business days of the event. The photos will be high-resolution digital files (jpeg) that you may share or get printed wherever you choose.
