It's time to Make a Difference
This quarter we are partnering our Jean Day donations with the 2017 - Tiger "Make a Difference" Project.
The Fort Hays State University Alumni Association along with the support of Golden Belt Bank, Tigers In Service, the FHSU Student Government Association and Tiger Athletics encourage Tiger alumni and friends far and wide to participation in community service through the 2017 Tiger "Make a Difference" Project, October 16 - November 3.

Donate to the USD 489 Hope Pantry
Locally, items will be collected in support of the Hays USD 489 Hope Pantry. The pantry, established in 2015, assists homeless families and families that are at-risk of being homeless by providing them with food, clothing and other items when school is not in session, especially over the holiday breaks.
Give and have a chance to win
In support of this effort, on Saturday, Oct. 28, the official "Make a Difference Day", Tiger fans attending the FHSU vs. Emporia State football game at 2 p.m. are invited to bring one or more items (non-perishable food, new clothing, hygiene products) or consider making a monetary donation to the Hope Pantry. Collection sites will be located at entry gates to Lewis Field Stadium.
Those who contribute will receive a chance for an exclusive Tiger Tailgate Package, including a reserve tailgating spot for the 2018 football season along with a cooler and all of the gear needed for the perfect tailgate experience. The prize package will be given away at halftime.
Can't make it to the game?
Collection boxes are located at the Robbins Center, inside the Memorial Union and inside the lobby at our Hays location.
