“Lend a Hand, Make Your Mark!” That’s the motto for MSC FISH’s Kyle Field Day, an event that gives students the chance to give back to the community at the same time they’re enjoying a day out in the fresh spring air. The fourth edition of Kyle Field Day, which will take place this Sunday, April 13 from noon-4pm, will be a little bit different than past editions because the event’s namesake is currently undergoing a massive renovation. As a result, Blue Bell Park will be the temporary home for Kyle Field Day 2014.
In addition to the new location this year’s event will be bigger than it has ever been with over forty campus and community organizations hosting service and awareness booths. According to Brittany Witt, a Kyle Field Day organizer with MSC FISH, SAS has donated 200 pairs of shoes, which will be decorated and distributed in Mexico “in areas where shoes are a rare commodity.”
According to Katy King, advisor for MSC FISH, attendees are
also encouraged to bring canned foods to Kyle Field Day. “We typically collect
over 700 pounds of food,” she says, adding that “this year we have made plans
to donate what we collect to the 12th Can,” the organization that
operates a food bank for needy students, staff, and faculty here at Texas
A&M University.
Other organizations at Kyle Field Day will provide
information about and opportunities to serve in the areas of global outreach,
animal abuse prevention, youth outreach, environmental preservation, and
disabilities and special needs.
The day’s activities will also include games, food, and
entertainment. To learn more visit MSC
FISH’s web site, their Facebook page, or follow them on Twitter. We’ve also
posted some photos on our flickr page and a video on our YouTube page.
