A Spirited Way to Give Back

Category: News

Alumni, donors, and friends of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have a new way to show their Volunteer spirit and unity while giving back—by purchasing a T-shirt that benefits student scholarships.

Created by the Office of Alumni Affairs, the 2020 T-shirt features the UT Alumni logo on the front. On the back is an image of renowned campus landmark Ayres Hall with “On a hallowed hill,” the opening words of the alma mater.

The T-shirt is $25 and is available in sizes small through 3XL. T-shirts can be ordered now through August 2. This is the only time the shirt will be available this year. Once orders are closed on August 2, shirts will be processed and shipped within a few weeks.

“Two years ago, we started small to create a T-shirt that our Volunteer family would be proud to wear that also gave back to student scholarships,” said Chip Bryant, vice chancellor for advancement. “We heard loudly and clearly from Volunteers that they wanted the T-shirt to be more widely available, so we are excited to offer that this year and to make more of an impact on the lives of our students from the proceeds.”
