Turning Competition Into Compassion

The fierce Utah-BYU rivalry took a heartwarming turn last fall as students channeled their competitive spirit into fighting hunger. The annual Tackling Hunger Together, a longstanding tradition at the U organized by the Student Alumni Board, transformed campus spots and local grocery stores into donation hubs, with both schools racing to collect food. The drive resulted in the equivalent of more than 35,000 meals for Utahns at the Feed U Pantry and Utah Food Bank.
