Ways to Support SC Flood Victims

The Clemson Family wants to help its South Carolina family. Clemson University officials have announced a number of campus initiatives, including several related to Athletics listed below, to help those across the state impacted by the recent storms and floods.

Water drop

• Donations of sealed drinking water will be accepted from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday in front of Vickery Hall on Clemson’s main campus. Look for the Clemson Football equipment trailer parked on the street.
• On Saturday at the Georgia Tech football game, the Clemson Football equipment trailer will be parked at the IPTAY building, (located on the Avenue of Champions) to accept sealed drinking water donations from 9 a.m. until kickoff at 3:30 p.m.

All water donations will be delivered to Harvest Hope Food Bank, which will distribute the water to impacted areas.

Monetary donations

• Clemson’s student athletes will accept donations inside the gates of Memorial Stadium prior to the Georgia Tech football game. Gates open at 1:30 p.m., and student athletes will have branded collection buckets.
• Additionally, Athletics and Clemson Home is committing $1 to the American Red Cross of South Carolina’s relief effort for every bottle of water sold at the Georgia Tech football game.
• For those who want to give and cannot attend the Georgia Tech football game, text REDCROSS to 90999 to give $10 to American Red Cross Disaster Relief, which helps people affected by this flood and other disasters. All text-to-donate responses received from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. on Saturday will be used to assist state of South Carolina efforts.
