Get Twisted with the Tiger!

We held our first Student/Residence event this past Saturday at the Tigers soccer home openers. Fans entered their ballots for their chance to compete in our first ever "Get Twisted with the Tiger!" competition. We selected 15 competitors and they had to bend and stretch in a giant game of Twister!

Once there were only four competitors left the Twister board was cut into a fraction of its original size. The final two competitors were Kashrell Lawrence and Rebecca Haworth. In the end, Kashrell persevered and went home with $500!

Are you a Dal student? Be on the lookout for more Student/Residence events at varsity games this year where you could win $500 in the halftime contest! This semester we will play "Get Twisted with the Tiger" on Saturday, October 19 during the women's basketball game, and we will be bringing in the "Cash Cube" on Saturday, November 16 at the basketball games!

Special Tigers Event

The first event is Saturday, September 14!

The Special Tigers Sports program runs fun events where youth with intellectual disabilities partner with varsity athletes from Dalhousie University to share their love for sport. Created in 2012 by psychology student Rebecca Haworth, the program is run by the Dalhousie Varsity Council with support from the Dalhousie athletic department and Special Olympics Nova Scotia.

For more details, you can email specialtigers@gmail.com or go to the Special Tigers Facebook page.
