Pioneer and Garrison plan "Food Bowl" to support Realtors Association Food Drive (Game: Oct. 20 at 4 p.m.)
Staff and students at Pioneer and Garrison Middle School are teaming with the Realtors Association to collect food for area food banks during "Food Bowl" 2010.

Pioneer and Garrison are reinstituting the Food Bowl in conjunction with the annual 8th grade football game Wednesday, October 20 at 4 p.m. at Borleske Stadium.

Staff and students will be collecting food two weeks prior to the big rivalry game. Game spectators will be asked to donate a can of food to the school of their choice for entrance into the big game. Students from each school will man the donation stations during the event.

There will be a final weigh-in to determine the winning school. In addition, students will participate in the weekend food pick up campaign with the Realtors Association.

"In this spirit we will compete to raise donations as we work together as Walla Walla middle schools to give back to our community," said Pioneer Middle School Principal Dana Jones. "In this annual football game, the athletes begin the game as two middle school teams and end the game as one team helping the community."
