UT Power Towels- Show your Big Orange Pride and Support Second Harvest

The 19^th Annual Tim Kerin Memorial Drive will be held on Saturday, September 18th before the UT v. Florida home game.  Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee, volunteers, staff and the students of the University of Tennessee Ministers Council will be collecting donations and distributing the UT Power Towel for a suggested $5 donation.

The orange and white Power Towels will be available outside of every gate at Neyland Stadium, two hours prior to kickoff.  Second Harvest Food Bank is asking fans to make a donation in exchange for the Power Towel or give $1, enough to provide 3 meals.

“We are so grateful to the University of Tennessee and their fans for supporting Second Harvest Food Bank and this outstanding fundraiser in Tim Kerin’s name,” said Elaine Streno, Executive Director of Second Harvest.

Tim Kerin made a huge impact on UT and the Knoxville community. He came to UT in 1976 as the Head Athletic Trainer.  Kerin was honored as Trainer of the Year by the Tennessee Athletic Trainers Society in 1992 and was elected posthumously into The National Athletic Trainers Association Hall of Fame in 1993.
