TOLEDO, Ohio – Student Veterans of America chapters at the University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University will join forces Saturday, Nov. 14 for their fourth annual "Ruck the Ball" march, delivering the game ball ahead of the annual Battle of I-75 football rivalry between the Rockets and Falcons.
The game will be played Friday, Nov. 20 at the Glass Bowl. The Battle of I-75 rivalry series is sponsored by Fremont Federal Credit Union.
Chapter leaders and members from both universities will depart the Nontraditional and Military Student Services Office at BGSU at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 14 and march 24 miles to the Veterans' Plaza on the UT campus, where they will deliver the game ball. Student representatives will then present the ball to the game officials prior to kickoff on Nov. 20.
The annual march raises awareness of the high rate of suicide among U.S. military veterans and highlights the importance of supporting those who have served our nation.
The 24-mile march will include members of both universities' Student Veterans of America chapters, ROTC programs and other campus and community organizations. Community members are welcome to participate and are not required to complete the entire 24-mile route.
