Helping those affected by Hurricane Sandy

[Dhambuc]

We need to have a donation campaign set up this weekend at the game to be able to donate Money, Canned goods and other items needed to aide those affected by Hurricance Sandy.

I called the USF Bulls ticket office, They are doing a Toys for tots this weekend.(didnt know anything about this BTW go figure Not that USF has advertised this that Im aware of)

I also left a message with Io Dixion Asst AD Im told, Asking that he call me back so I can present the idea to them, Im Hoping that we can get the American Redcross or some other organziation out there to collect money and items.

If USF cant or wont than I encourage everyone to go on line and make doantions to some charity that will help those in need right now.

Already did that and have posted that link with others on facebook, ESPN blog ect..... USF could do something as well. If everyone entering the stadium this week gave just 1.00 we could raise 10,000 or slightly more this week. Based on projected attendance and 1.00 donated.

I think it would be a great gesture by USF to do this. I was also suprised that there in no mention on GO USF BULLS website about this Toys for Tots that is supposed to be happening this week, No email blast to season ticket holders either, How does USF expect fans to know to bring toys this week?

The marketing dept is horrific. I reached out to them to see what I could do or to suggest something and have yet to get a return phone call.

Great suggestion Dhambuc. I think Triple is right...the Red Cross will be the quickest way to assist the victims of Hurricane Sandy. They are already in the trenches of the hardest hit areas helping out.

Marketing should have at least returned your phone call but I don't see a problem with not doing anything about the natural disaster, especially on such short notice. It's not the first natural disaster we've had during football season .... and are you sure they're doing Toys for Tots this Saturday? THAT is a problem if true because I couldn't find anything either... definitely need a little heads up on that.
