Alumnus says thank you to UTM athletes

I would like to take a moment to say thank you to the many UTM student athletes who volunteered their time with our 21st annual Can Caravan.

This canned food drive is coordinated through each school in Weakley County by WCMT Radio.

Each year thousands of pounds of food are collected at each school and taken to Santa’s Village.

This year Weakley County students donated over 12,000 pounds of food.

Several student athletes from UTM helped us gather, load and sort all the food. Their assistance makes this annual event a huge success.

We would also like to commend Assistant Athletics Director Danelle Fabianich and UT Martin Golf Coach Jerry Carpenter. These two have gone well above and beyond volunteering with Can Caravan for the past three years. From organizing the student volunteers to heavy lifting and driving their own vehicles, their help each year is priceless.
