In total, Mizzou earned more than 102,000 points, a 66% increase over the previous year, and placed second overall among the participating universities.<br>\u00a0<br>Our strong growth was driven by Mizzou students and community members, who earned points by contributing food, monetary support and basic need items for <a href=\"https:\/\/msa.missouri.edu\/tiger-pantry\/\">Tiger Pantry<\/a>, an MSA auxiliary that helps those in need on campus.<br>\u00a0<br>This year, we raised nearly <a>$35,000<\/a>, including more than $6,000 on Mizzou Giving Day alone. Students and campus partners also donated more than 50,000 food items, including over 40,000 items collected during the Greek Week Can Drive.<br>\u00a0<br>Across all competing universities, nearly 600,000 points were earned \u2013 reflecting our incredible collective impact on campuses across the conference.<br>\u00a0<br>Thank you to everyone who contributed and helped make a difference for our fellow Tigers.
