Cougar Kickoff and Book Drive at BYU
Come visit the BYU Education Society tent at the Cougar Kickoff on Wednesday, August 16th from 6–8 p.m. We're co-sponsoring a book drive to benefit local children, kicking off the series of service projects at BYU Football away games. Bring a new or lightly used children's book you love to the fields north of the Student Athlete Building on the BYU campus!
The BYU Education Society (sponsored by the McKay School of Education) has partnered with Cougs Care and the BYU Athletics Cougar Built program to benefit local elementary school children. BYU student athletes, the dunk team, and Cosmo will personally deliver the books to elementary local schools throughout the upcoming school year.
If you can't come to the kick-off in person, you can still participate by purchasing a book here.
Cougar Kickoff will also include food trucks, games, activities, and the opportunity to meet BYU student athletes!
