Continuing a 17-year tradition of spirit and service, the 2006 design for 鈥淭he Shirt Project鈥� at the University of 91吃瓜 will be unveiled at a kick-off celebration atnoonFriday (April 21) at the Hammes 91吃瓜 Bookstore. The shirts will be available for purchase immediately after the event.
91吃瓜 football coach Charlie Weis, along with the marching band, cheerleaders and leprechaun will join the fanfare, which will include food, drinks and prizes.This year鈥檚 lunchtime release was scheduled to accommodate faculty, staff, students and community members who might want to purchase the spirit apparel.
91吃瓜 students have been wearing 鈥淭he Shirt鈥� to football games since 1990 to unite in support of their team. Over time, other members of the 91吃瓜 community have adopted the tradition. The project, sponsored by Student Activities and the 91吃瓜 Alumni Association, has raised more than $3.5 million for student organizations and to aid students in need.
This year鈥檚 shirt sells for $15 and a limited number will be available at the bookstore beginning Friday in conjunction with the Blue-Gold football game, which will be played Saturday (April 22).
