SPOKANE, Wash – Helping food banks in the Inland Northwest is as easy as watching college basketball in January.
Fans are encouraged to bring canned and non-perishable food items to the Washington State/Oregon State men’s basketball game at the Spokane Arena January 4th.
Donations will be shared with Second Harvest Inland Northwest.
“We are grateful to partner with Avista, an organization that continues to demonstrate tremendous support for the Spokane community,” said WSU Interim Director of Athletics Jon Haarlow. “Hosting this game to benefit Second Harvest Inland Northwest reflects our shared commitment to serving the region. We appreciate our incredible Spokane fan base, whose generosity help make events like this so impactful.”
Avista is the presenting sponsor of the event, dubbed Hoops 4 Hunger.
“The holidays inspire incredible generosity, but families need support long after the season ends,” said Avista President and CEO Heather Rosentrater. “This is our chance to keep that spirit alive year-round, and we’re proud to partner with Second Harvest, Cougar fans and others to make it happen.”
WSU season ticket holders can claim their spots at the game. WSU students can get in with sports passes as well.
All other fans can buy tickets for the game from TicketsWest.
WSU and OSU are current and future Pac-12 foes. Both teams are playing in the WCC this year before the full Pac-12 relaunch next fall.
Non-Stop Local is also a presenting sponsor of this game.
