A Fort Hays State University student organization, Tiger Pals, and The Arc of Central Plains will host a kickoff celebration beginning at 7 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 27, in front of Sheridan Hall on the FHSU campus.

Tiger Pals was founded by three FHSU track and field student athletes: Keshawn Sewell, Jake Morrow and Justin Montney.

Tiger Pals is a volunteer organization that assists individuals with special needs and disabilities by enhancing their physical, social and mental well-being through engaging activities. Tiger Pals promotes disability awareness, unique mentorship opportunities and community involvement.

“Jake, Justin and I are extremely excited to see the implementation asia mobile number list of this program and how it grows during our time as FHSU students,” said Sewell. “We hope to build a foundation that will allow this program to last well beyond our time here at FHSU and are excited about the opportunity to impact the lives of individuals in our community who otherwise may not get to experience many of the things we take for granted.”

“We hope to bridge this gap and provide FHSU students the opportunity to build relationships with those individuals who would greatly appreciate the time spent together,” he said.

The celebration will include a 5k run, fun run or walk, pancake feed, carnival games and competitive games.
