Fans are encouraged to bring their dollars to the Louisiana Tech game on Saturday to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The "Bring a Buck to the Game" promotion hopes to raise at least $10,000 for the victims, said Anton Bengston, Center for Community Outreach co-director.
Student athletes, coaches athletic department staff and student volunteers will be at donation stations at each of the 14 entrances at Memorial Stadium. Volunteers will also
collect donations from tailgating areas near the stadium at 4:30 p.m. Donations will be collected at entrance gates until 6:15 p.m.
"This is an excellent way to underscore our efforts to aid the hurricane victims," said Lew Perkins, Kansas athletics director. "We know our generous fans will do what they can to help."
Fundraising efforts at the first football game against Florida Atlantic raised $1,200 and $1,500 at the Appalachian State game.
The Center for Community Outreach has been working with the Kansas Athletics Department, Concerned Active
and Aware Students and the Douglas County Chapter of the American Red Cross to raise funds for hurricane victims.
Fundraising relief across campus has been organized by "Jayhawks Band Together: Katrina Relief," which includes University students, organizations and departments.
The volunteer effort requires 70 people to collect donations at the game. Individuals interested in volunteering are asked to meet at 3:45 p.m. behind the video board at the south end of the stadium. Volunteers will receive a free ticket to the game and a Kansas football T-shirt in recognition of their efforts.
"This game presents the perfect opportunity for a successful fundraising effort because of our exceptional base of student volunteers and the fact that we're playing a team from the devastated area." Bengston said. "We're doing all we can as a University, so now it's up to the fans."
The Athletics Department announced earlier this month that it had made a $10,000 donation to the hurricane relief effort.
to the labs. Bengston said all donations would go to the American Red Cross Gulf Coast Disaster Fund.
