Hurricane Relief
Each team or individual participating in the Cowboy Jamboree has been asked to bring a donation to be turned in at registration. Any donation would be appreciated, but should be something that a kid would be able to use. School supplies are particularly in need, but clothes are also helpful. Personal and recreational items are useful, and items for babies and children such as: diapers, toys, books, clothes, etc. Cash will also be accepted, as will checks. Checks may be made out to the American Red Cross or to the OSU Student Athlete Advisory Council.
