Shot Clock for Sandwiches
Shot Clocks for Sandwiches makes it return this year to John Paul Jones arena. For every shot clock violation that the Hoos force this season at home, The Markets of Tiger fuel will donate a pair of sandwiches to each Big and Little pair in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program here in Charlottesville. That’s a total of 150 sandwiches for every violation, and ensures our local matches can grab a bite to eat before or after their weekly activities.
Bigs must register on the app to receive the free sandwiches. You can register here: https://tigerfuelmarkets.com/bbbscbr/
Please let your Match Support Specialist know if you have any questions.
