It might be November but DawgNation is still rocking pink! It’s no secret that Bulldogs Battling Breast Cancer (@bbbc_athens) is a charity near and dear to heart of Georgia fans. Through their annual golf tournament and their partnerships with the Spike Squad, UGA Paint Line, UGA Ice Dawgs, and even Damn Good Dawg and fan favorite Kelee Ringo and his mom Tralee Hale, the BBBC and DawgNation have raised $1.7 million dollars for breast cancer awareness and St. Mary’s Hospital Athens. So it was no surprise that when diehard Tennessee fan @BoCamaro challenged Dawg fan @26_SAVage_ to a charity contest leading up to the UGA/Tennessee game that the BBBC was her first choice. @BoCamaro is raising money for the East Tennessee Children’s Hospital and has kindly offered to make a trophy to commemorate the event, set to go home with whichever person raises the most money for their charity before the 4th Quarter ends on November 18th. As soon as I saw the charity challenge on Twitter, I absolutely loved the idea! While I love football and bleed red and black, my favorite part of sports is the ability they have to bring people together. Even opposing fanbases and sworn enemies who only share their love for the game will rally together for a good cause and to support a fellow football fan in need of help. Both teams have already raised several hundred dollars for their charity and the battle is close! Some fans have chosen to support both the BBBC and East Tennessee Children’s Hospital and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. We’re all for sharing the love and good sportsmanship. But if you’d like to volunteer to help DawgNation take home this shiny new trophy, all the bragging rights, and support a great cause, donate to the BBBC Athens at this link or using the QR code below. Make sure to tag your donation for the UGA/UT challenge! And whether you are able to donate or not, please share and spread the word. Because at the end of the day, it’s just a game. And regardless which team wins, when we help others, we all win.
Different teams and enemies on the field, united by the common good. Isn’t that why we all love football?
