ISU vs. UI Tackle Hunger Football Game
Idaho State University and University of Idaho are teaming up once again to raise funds and food to support fellow Idahoans!
On Saturday, November 23rd, University of Idaho’s football team will be playing Idaho State University in Pocatello at the ICCU Dome. This friendly rivalry game is the perfect backdrop for a friendly rivalry fundraiser between the two schools. In the week leading up to the game, as well as during the game that day – both institutions will be accepting monetary and food donations that will go directly to supporting The Idaho Foodbank in helping to address food insecurity in Idaho. Any donations may be dropped off to your nearest Foodbank warehouse, or to the Alumni offices at both Universities.
Come join us at the game and show your support for your team by donating to The Idaho Foodbank! This year, we’re hoping to raise enough funds to provide food for over 18,000 meals!

Sponsored by:JD Johnston
Hello everyone and Happy New Year. It is time again to gear up for the Annual Sportsmen Against Hunger poker run. Once again, we will be holding the event at the Chubbuck CAL Store. We have the date set for Saturday January 27th, 2018 starting at 9am-4pm.
The groups that participated last year were;
CAL Store

Idaho Fish & Game
National Wild Turkey Federation
Pocatello Field Archers
Idaho Food Bank
RMEF

We would enjoy seeing everyone back this year. We are asking all groups if possible to donate something to the prize table for the Poker Run. Also, we are asking groups not to do separate raffles at their tables. Please feel free to promote your groups and display any items that may be available at your banquets but no raffle sales at your tables.
We would like to possibly get more groups involved so if anyone has any suggestions please contact JD @ 208-709-55233.
We also had the idea about doing some demonstrations during the event to draw more people in. Maybe duck, elk calling. Possibly pack saddle demo etc. If any of you have any thoughts let JD or Kevin 208-237-1670 know.
Thank you, JD Johnston
