Effort to help Virginia Tech grows
- April
- 23
As this blog reported Friday, Nanuet resident Bruce Brown is behind an effort at Texas A&M University to sell T-shirts to raise funds for the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund.
Since then, the effort has ballooned to include the University of Texas, and you can even buy the T-shirts online. The shirts say
“Orange and Maroon support Orange and Maroon We Remember 04.16.07” on the front and “The eyes of Texas are upon you…For your spirit can ne’er be told; In times of greatest tragedy; You have a hand to hold” (One of A&M’s colors is Maroon and one of UT’s is Orange. Virginia Tech’s colors are Maroon and Orange.
Check out the group’s Facebook page, plus you can buy the shirts online through TAMU’s box office (click on “online tix” in the left-hand sidebar).
Available sizes are adult: small, medium, large and XL and they cost $10 to cover the cost of shipping. The sale started at 9 a.m. Central time today and ends at 5 p.m. Central (that’s 6 p.m. here in on the East Coast) May 2.
