University of Colorado football fans will have a chance to help Boulder聮s needy families while they cheer on the Buffs by donating food at the Oct. 17 home game.
CU-Boulder and Community Food Share will host a food drive at Folsom Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 17, when the Buffs take on Texas Tech. Canned and other non-perishable food or money contributions will be collected by student athletes and various CU coaches as fans enter the stadium.
A free pass to a CU men聮s or women聮s basketball or volleyball game will be given to each person who makes a contribution.
The day before the game, Oct. 16, is World Food Day, devoted to increasing awareness, understanding and informed action on world hunger.
All donations will go to Community Food Share of Boulder.
The food drive is co-hosted by CU聮s Athletic Department, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, the Office of Community Relations and the Chancellor聮s Office.
For additional information, contact the CU-Boulder Office of Community Relations at 492-8384.
