The Center for Service and Leadership will host a kickoff for the 22nd annual Beat Auburn Beat Hunger campaign. Every year The University of Alabama partners with the West Alabama Food Bank in a competition against Auburn where one school will claim the food fight trophy for raising the most non-perishable food to help the needy.

Over the last 21 years, the competition between the two schools has collected over five million pounds of food that has aided in feeding the hungry in Alabama. 

The University has claimed ten of the 21 food fight trophies.

WHO:  All Students

WHAT:  Kickoff for BABH to include games, inflatables and prizes

WHEN:  Monday, Oct. 3, from 1 a.m. to 3 p.m.

WHERE:  Second floor in the Ferguson Center

           “I may be biased, but what is better than helping the community and beating Auburn?” said Courtney Charland, a junior operations management major and executive director of BABH. “Every donation to BABH goes directly to the West Alabama Food Bank to serve approximately 100,000 families in need.”

BABH will be hosting events to help the cause throughout the month of October and November, until the final weigh-in on Wednesday Nov. 16. To see a complete list of events, visit www.beatauburnbeathunger.ua.edu and click on calendar of events.
