Men?s Basketball Announces Tornado Relief Initiative
Nearly a year later, the Bulldog basketball team continues to assist families in need who were affected by the deadly tornadoes.
In Saturday’s regular-season finale against Missouri, fans can participate in the Tornado Relief Initiative by donating non-perishable food items, clothing, blankets, flashlights and batteries as part of the Kroger’s Million Meals Challenge, with food going to the Mississippi Food Network. Bins will be located at the Humphrey Coliseum ticket office to collect all items.
In return, each fan who donates an item to this worthy cause will receive half-off admission to the game.
Tip is set for 5:30 p.m., and donated items will be accepted starting at 4 p.m.
“Our fans have given us so much support and I thought it was imperative we do something to give back,” Ray said. “To see the damage and then how everyone persevered was really touching, and as a team we want to make sure we can do everything we can to help.”
