The following is a news release from LCU:
LCU and the South Plains Food Bank team up to Slam Dunk Hunger by collecting donations and cans at the Chap and Lady Chap basketball games this Saturday beginning at 1 p.m.
Come out to the Rip Griffin Center to enjoy free food and fun activities as fans watch the LCU Chaps and Lady Chaps take on Oklahoma Christian University. All proceeds from admission to the game will go to the South Plains Food Bank and attendees have the opportunity to bring five cans of food or $5 cash to participate in activities and be entered into a drawing to win an Apple Watch.
The Slam Dunk Hunger event takes place on February 23 beginning at 1 p.m., and is sponsored by Lubbock Christian University, Powerhouse Nutrition, Texas Tech Credit Union, Aramark, Advanced Graphix, and Bolinger, Segars, Gilbert & Moss, L.L.P. for the benefit of the South Plains Food Bank.
The idea to host a spring food drive began in 2014 when Russell Dabbs, event coordinator and LCU School of Business professor, explored opportunities to help collect money and food pantry items during the spring for the South Plains Food Bank.
Dabbs said, “LCU decided to create a major spring event for the Food Bank to complement the U Can Share Food Drive and other regular food drives that typically occur in the fall. We found that there was a need for similar events in the spring.”
