When it comes to interstate college rivalries, they don't get much bigger than the long-standing rivalry between Indiana and Purdue. It doesn't matter what the sport or activity is, both schools want to prove they are the best in Indiana. Alumni from both schools will soon have the chance to do that with a friendly competition that will help those dealing with food insecurity in the Evansville area.

During that time, both organizations will compete to collect the most food and raise the most money - all of which will be donated to the Tri-State Food Bank.

This Is the Rubber Match

After winning last year's food drive competition, Purdue University tied up the series at three wins apiece - that means this year's winner will break the tie. The Indiana alum and anxious to get it back...

The IU Alumni Association of Greater Evansville is excited to once again battle with the Purdue Alumni Club of Evansville for the benefit of Tri-State Food Bank. We look forward to taking back possession of the Old Oaken Bucket, but the real winner in this endeavor are all those who are served by Tri-State Food Bank. We're Hoosiers fighting hunger. GO IU!

Side note: I wonder if there was a conversation between the two groups about what to call the event. I imagine it would go something like "Why does it have to be the Red & Black Give Back? Why can't we call it the Black & Red Give Back?" Haha!
