For the third straight season, the Tigers will do their part to raise funds and awareness for a good cause with their “Aces for Autism” program. Fans can make pledges either in a flat amount using the donation boxes found on the mezzanine level in SECU Arena or take the TU Team Challenge and pledge per Towson’s Kill, Block, Dig, Assist, or Ace season totals. Fans’ donations to this event will go toward the organization of their choice, or fans can allow the volleyball team to allocate the funds to the autism organization of its choice.
