For the second year, our live mascot Griff is leading a “Griff Gives Back” pet food drive to support The Pet Project Midwest, which provides food for animals in need. Griff is accepting donations of adult dog and cat food from now through the 39th Annual Beautiful Bulldog Contest on Sunday, April 22. We’ve already received more than 4,000 pounds of food—well on our way to the goal of 6,000 pounds!
Donations of adult dog and cat food can be made in the Olmsted Breezeway, or via mail:
Drake University
Attn: Griff Gives Back
2507 University Ave.
Olmsted Building—Drake Postal Operations
Des Moines, IA 50311
For project updates, follow Griff on Instagram or Twitter (@DrakeUGriff) and watch the Beautiful Bulldog Contest Facebook page. Similar to the All In campaign, this is a powerful demonstration of what the Bulldog community can achieve together.
