Help Reward Some Lil' Rebs
With your help, some of the valley's most deserving youth will get a big dose of Rebel pride during this year's homecoming week.
UNLV is piloting an Adopt-A-School program that pairs the campus community with Cunningham Elementary School, where many of the students are homeless or living below the poverty line.
The Alumni Association purchased 100 of the $50 Rebel Fun Packs to reward students who are excelling in Cunningham's accelerated reading program. The association is challenging alumni, donors, and friends of the university to send more high-achieving students to the game by matching its contribution.
The Rebel Fun Pack is for the Oct. 17 homecoming game. The students will get four game tickets and a voucher for hot dogs and drinks. Cunningham also will receive $5 for every Fun Pack sold, and each student will receive a T-shirt.
