The proceeds from all of the merchandise sales will go to charity.
Our thoughts are with those affected by Hurricane Helene's historic flooding, and as Tennessee Volunteers, we feel the need to help our neighbors.
Tennessee Athletics announced on Saturday that fans can now purchase t-shirts, hats, and stickers featuring the "Mountain Strong" helmet decal that the Tennessee football team will wear to honor those impacted by Hurricane Helene.
The 'Mountain Strong' merchandise pre-sale begins tonight at 5:30 p.m. Items will be available at the Vol Shop and Alumni Hall.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone impacted during this difficult time," said Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics Danny White. "We sincerely hope these initiatives will bring much-needed support and awareness to the affected communities."
The proceeds from all of the merchandise sales will go to charity.
In the coming weeks, the University of Tennessee and Tennessee Athletics will organize, accept, and mobilize donations for those affected by Hurricane Helene. More information regarding dates and times will be provided soon. Staff, students, and student-athletes can sign up for shifts through the Division of Student Life's Jones Center.
Tennessee Athletics also continues using QR codes at athletics events to publicize ways to donate to multiple organizations.
UT Public Safety regularly monitors Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) requests and provides assistance and resources as appropriate. Tennessee Athletics and the University will continue to pursue opportunities to assist the state and our region in addressing the needs of impacted communities.
