The MSU Community Relations Committee is Proud to announce “Paint the Town Blue and Gold” for Cat/Griz 2015

Help MSU celebrate and welcome visitors by decorating your business in Blue and Gold the week of November 15-21 in preparation for Cat/Griz weekend.  Paint your own storefront, hang Bobcat flags or signs and/or showcase Bobcat merchandise in the windows.  Windows MUST be painted and decorated no later that 10PM on Wednesday, November 18.  Businesses who decorate will have the chance to win prizes-including basketball tickets, MSU gear, Bobcat cookies and much more.  Volunteers on behalf of MSU will be visiting local businesses on November 20 passing out prizes to those who show exceptional Bobcat Spirit.

Also, don’t forget to participate in the 16th annual Can the Griz Food Drive, an off-field competition between MSU and the UM to see which community can collect the most donations for their local food banks. The competition begins Saturday, November 7th through Saturday, November 21st.   Organizers of the drive ask that nonperishable food donations be taken to collection locations throughout Bozeman to support those in need in Gallatin County. A list of participating locations can be found at www.canthegriz.com.

Bobcat supporters can designate their contribution to MSU by telling the Gallatin Valley Food Bank or collection location host that their donation is for the Can the Griz food drive. Monetary donations may be made directly to the Gallatin Valley Food Bank by texting CAN to 444999. Donations can also be made online at www.gallatinvalleyfoodbank.org. This year, Can the Griz shirts will be available at the MSU Bookstore. Proceeds from the shirts will benefit the Gallatin Valley Food Bank.

Join the Bobcat men’s and women’s Basketball teams as they play a double header on Friday, November 20.  The women face The University of Portland at 5:30p.m. and the men play against San Jose State University at 8:05p.m.
