Club Sports Food Drive Exceeds Goal
The University Recreation Club Sports program held its second annual food drive to benefit the Full Circle Campus Food Pantry on campus. A total of 1,526 pounds of non-perishable items was collected for donations to the pantry.
Out of the 30 clubs in the program, eleven of them participated in the food drive to help exceed the program's goal of 1,500 pounds. The food drive served as a great way for students to be competitive, while also benefitting the university community. Out of the 11 teams who participated, the Arkansas Cycling club won the drive by donating a total of 447 pounds, followed by the Men’s Soccer and Paintball clubs, who donated 431 pounds, and 248 pounds respectively.
Stay tuned for information regarding the annual Club Sports Clothing Drive that will be held during the spring semester.
