The Fairmont State University Student Government
Association is supporting the Tygart Valley United Way,
which represents Marion, Taylor, Randolph, Barbour and
Tucker counties, through sales of this year’s “Maroon
Madness” t-shirts.
Proceeds from the sales will benefit the “Charting a
New Course” campaign, launched by the United Way
earlier this month.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with the Student
Government Association for their third annual Maroon
Madness sale,” said Tygart Valley United Way CEO,
Brett White. “United Way is fortunate to have these young
leaders stepping up to the plate and helping to raise
critical dollars for our community. We encourage all
Falcon fans to purchase a shirt and help us chart this new
course for our region.”
T-shirts will be sold in advance of the annual Maroon
Madness football game, which is scheduled for 2 p.m.
Saturday, October 2 against Concord University.
“We are super excited to be helping kick off the United
Way’s Campaign this year,” said Student Government
Association Treasurer, Clay Burrows.
The shirts can be purchased for $10 on the following
dates:
Thursday, September 23: from 12:30 to 1:15 p.m.
in the Ruth Ann Musick Library and the Falcon
Center
Tuesday, September 28: from 12:30 to 1:15 p.m.
in the Ruth Ann Musick Library and the Falcon
Center
Friday, October 1: from 12:30 to 1:15 p.m. in the
Ruth Ann Musick Library and the Falcon Center
“I’m thankful to the SGA for kicking off the United
Way campaign like this,” said Fairmont State University
President, Mirta M. Martin. “I urge everyone to get a t-
shirt and show their Falcon Pride. In one gesture you not
only show the world what Fairmont State means to you,
but you can also show the region the importance we place
on ‘giving’ in our campus community, and help out the
United Way in the process.”
