CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – The UNI men's basketball team were hard at work on Thursday night, serving the UNI faithful at The Other Place on University to help raise money for the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Cedar Valley.
The Panthers helped prepare food, served drinks and took orders from 5:30 p.m. to 7 pm on Thursday, a service the team is proud to be involved in to help raise money for a worthy cause.
"Tonight was great," stated junior Justin Dahl. "We had a lot of fun serving our fans and raising money for the Boys and Girls Club I thought the night went great with a better than expected turnout."
The coaching staff stresses giving back to the community and feel the Tip a Panther Night is a great way to raise money for a great organization and connect with the Panthers fans.
"We had another great night at The Other Place on University for our Tip a Panther Night," stated head coach Ben Jacobson. "This has been a tremendous partnership and a fun evening for all involved. I want to thank everyone who attended again this year as we raised some funds for the Boys and Girls Club."
The team was able to raise $1,065 from their efforts on Thursday night and plan to continue to the event. The men's basketball team will be on the road this weekend, taking on the Purple Aces of Evansville and then again next week taking on Missouri State. The Panthers will be back in the McLeod Center for back to back games Feb 23 and Feb 17 taking on Valparaiso and Loyola.
