Saturday is Cowboys Tackle Cancer. . .
Nationally-ranked Boise State comes to War Memorial Stadium Saturday for an important contest in many ways. Of great importance is the fact it will be Breast Cancer Awareness Day. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m., and UW is offering a special package for this special day. The Breast Cancer Awareness Package includes a pink rally towel and game ticket. The Wyoming Foundation for Cancer Care will receive $5 from each package sold. Please note, the package is not available on game day, but may be purchased online here, by phone at 1-877-WYO-FAN1 and at the ticket office. For obvious reasons the Pokes could use all of their fans’ support this Saturday, while helping a terrific cause.
Toys for Tots at the Border War. . .
The game for The Boot will have something additional to make it even more special when CSU is here in two weeks. For that November 3, game UW will be accepting toys and donations for the Toys for Tots program. Fans are asked to bring new, unwrapped toys to the game. Collection receptacles will be located at each entrance to War Memorial Stadium. Help us keep The Boot while donating toys to this very worthwhile Marine Corps’ community program.

Cowboy Joe Club News. . .
The Club has enjoyed a renewal rate of 85 percent of the 2011 membership as of today which is excellent. The Club goal is to reach at least a 90 percent renewal rate. Some 4,700 members are pledged to the Club as of this week.
Steer-a-Year volunteers are driving throughout the state this week to pick up nearly 100 steers that have been donated to the program.
