For the seventh year in a row, Towson Universitty student-athletes will be participating in the annual Pigskin Pass, a collaborative effort with the University of Delaware to raise money for Special Olympics Programs in Maryland and Delaware.
On Friday, November 2, the Tigers will be carrying a ceremonial football from Unitas Stadium starting at noon, and run half the 58 mile distance to the University of Delaware.
There will be a hand-off ceremony with our mascot Doc handing the football off to Delaware’s mascot YouDee at Festival Park in Aberdeen at approximately 5 p.m.
On Saturday morning, the Blue Hens from Delaware will run the ball the remaining distance to Delaware Stadium before the noon kickoff of the Towson-Delaware football game.
There will be a check presentation to Special Olympics athletes from both states between the first and second quarter of the game.
PLEASE HELP US BEAT DELAWARE FOR THE MOST FUNDS RAISED FOR THESE VERY IMPORTANT PROGRAMS!
