The 9th Annual Griff Gives Back pet food drive kicks off March 18 and runs through the Drake Relays. Griff I and Griff II have amassed over 112,000 pounds of dog and cat food to benefit area pets in need through The Pet Project Midwest since the campaign began in 2016. Griff II’s goal this year is to collect at least 15,000 additional pounds. Please visit https://alumni.drake.edu/griff-gives-back to see the easy ways you can help him reach his goal and the progress being made throughout the campaign. You can also follow Griff II on social media (@DrakeUGriff ) for frequent updates on the campaign directly from the source. Every pound helps us get there! Thank you so very much for your support.
