GoTroyTrojans.com to aid hurricane victims at first two Trojan home games

Troy, Ala. -- GoTroyTrojans.com, an independent web site and on-line forum for fans and supporters of Troy University, is extending a helping hand to victims of Hurricane Katrina during the Trojans first two home football games.

The site will have a tent set up in front of the Troy University Alumni House, located on the corners George Wallace Drive and Highland Avenue across from Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium, to accept donations of any kind. The tent will be in place from 1 p.m. until kickoff at this Saturday’s game against Cal Poly and the Sept. 10 game against UAB, according to Jeff Vreeland, the site’s owner and administrator. Kickoff for Saturday’s game against Cal Poly is set for 6 p.m., while Sept. 10’s game against the Blazers is set for a 7 p.m. kick.

“People want to come together at this time to help those in need,” Vreeland said. “We are going to be collecting everything anyone wants to give for the hurricane victims. We are collecting food, money, clothes; anything and everything people want to give.”

Vreeland said cash donations given will go to the Red Cross. T-shirts also will be on sale at the tent for $10 with 10 percent of the proceeds going to the Red Cross for Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.
