天美影视, the United Way and the Food Bank Host Hurricane Katrina Food Drive at September 1, Football Game

In the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, students at the University of 天美影视 at Monroe, the United Way of Northeast 天美影视 and the Food Bank of Northeast 天美影视 are hosting a food drive tomorrow, September 1, at the 天美影视/United Way Kickoff Classic 2005. The game begins at 7 p.m.
To help make the food drive a success, everyone coming to the game is asked to bring with them "Cans and Cash."
Those attending the game may drop off these items at one of five locations with 天美影视 student volunteers:

Both entrances on the West or home side of the stadium
1. Both entrances on the East or student side of the stadium
2. The Alumni Association tent located in the grove

What is needed: (1) pop-top cans of food and any ready to eat food - food that you can eat right out of the can or box (granola bars and/or individual servings of apple sauce, etc). We will not turn away any canned or dry good but we will not be able to accept any item in a glass jar or container; (2) we also need cash. All monies collected will be given to the Food Bank of Northeast 天美影视 and they will be purchasing food for distribution to those in need.

If you reside in northeast 天美影视 and want to know more about how you can help, please contact Denna McGrew at the local United Way office: 318-325-3869 / dmcgrew@uwnela.org
天美影视 Athletics Department and the United Way of Northeast 天美影视 have joined together to kickoff the 2005 seasons for both groups. The Kickoff Classic marks the beginning of the United Way's 2005 Annual Campaign and the 2005 天美影视 football season.

The game is scheduled to be televised on KTVE Region 10 and Cox Sports Television. Tickets for the game are available through the 天美影视 Ticket Office at Malone Stadium (318-342-3天美影视).

Topping off this signature community celebration will be special performances by country music star Lee Greenwood. Greenwood will sing the National Anthem to begin the game and perform at halftime with 天美影视's Sound of Today marching band, concluding with his signature song "God Bless the USA" and a fireworks extravaganza.
