Clemson Lady Tigers Promoting Children’s Literacy

Feb. 5, 2002

CLEMSON, SC – The Clemson Lady Tiger basketball team along with the Clemson University Graduate School and the Graduate Student Government are promoting children’s literacy during the month of February.

The focus of this project is to provide books for children in Head Start to the sixth grade. The Clemson Lady Tigers are asking that fans bring one or more children’s books (new or used) to the women’s basketball games on Sunday, February 17 vs. Wake Forest at 2:00 p.m. and on Thursday, February 21st vs. Georgia Tech at 7:00 p.m. These are the two final home games of the season.

Anyone bringing a book will have free admission to the games for themselves and up to three family members. Books will be collected at gates five and 11. The books that are donated will be given to local community agencies and schools.
