Syracuse fans, let’s team up to help others in need

We’re all missing Syracuse Orange sports and it’s been wonderful to see Orange fans take over online bracket after online bracket. Howeve,r we are calling on you to join us in a new effort that shows what Syracuse fans can do.

Over the weekend, journalists used their social media platforms to raise money and awareness for food banks. New York Times best-selling author Shea Serrano led the way for his local San Antonio Food Bank.

He was followed by a couple of legendary writers you should recognize:

So we decided to make this something to literally feed our desire to be part of a win again. If you’ve got the means to do so we’d like to ask you the TNIAAM readers to join us in supporting the Food Bank of CNY.

Just $1 will provide three meals to those in need, and The Food Bank of CNY partners with many different locations in Central and Northern New York so you’ll be supporting the “home team” if you’re able to participate.

There is a direct way to give online but we’d like to make a TNIAAM community gift so we set up an online method to accept donations through PayPal from now until Sunday. If you want to contribute through Venmo you can send it to @kwallcuse and we’ll provide updates each day on our progress. Next Monday morning, we’ll submit what we’ve collected to the Food Bank and together we’ll help others in this time of need and earn something more meaningful than winning an online pool.
