Our student organizations are collecting donations for the Mid-South Food Bank, which also supplies food for our own Tiger Pantry. We encourage everyone—students, faculty, and staff—to contribute if they can. Every $1 donated provides four complete meals for families in need, making your support go a long way in helping fight hunger in our community.
Quick Rules Recap:
- Teams of two only – no more, no less.
- Each round = 3 frames, and both teammates must bowl.
- Single-elimination bracket with random seeding.
- Use the provided turkeys (no substitutions).
- Crossing the “Fowl Line” = 0 points for that turn.
- Most importantly — have fun and help feed families across the Mid-South
