For $25, donors can purchase turkeys at the student-run Rue and Gwen Gibson Farm Market that will be donated to one of the three groups.

Past Events…
Will Walk for Food
The inaugural “Will Walk for Food” fun run/walk that took place on Saturday, September 10, 2011, was a huge success! Over 85 participants participated in a 2 mile walk or 5 mile run at O’Neil Park on the Fresno State campus. They enjoyed entertainment by HR7, a delicious meal prepared by Fresno State’s very own Culinology Club, raffle prizes and more. The event raised approximately $3,500 which will be used to purchase food for the Bulldog Pantry! We can’t wait to plan the run/walk for next year.
Another BIG thank you to our event sponsors… (in alphabetical order) Eye-Q Vision Care, EECU, Fresno State Alumni Association, Kremen Alumni Association Board and Friends, Tacos Marquitos, and Wawona Frozen Foods.
