Healthy Hogs
Student-athletes visit the 9 Fayetteville and 2 Farmington elementary schools to promote prioritizing their health and physical fitness. Student-athletes speak to K-4th graders to encourage them to drink water, eat healthy, complete physical exercises, and stretch during the month of October to become a Healthy Hog member.

Shop with the Razorbacks
Student-athletes raise money to take 10 local elementary school kids holiday shopping. Each kid receives a $100 gift card to shop while being escorted by student-athletes.
Salute to Veterans
Salute to Veterans is an annual collaborative community engagement effort between the Fayetteville VA Medical Center and Razorback student-athletes. This event takes place every Valentine’s Day and gives our student-athletes the opportunity to deliver fun handwritten cards, created by local elementary school students, to the VA Hospital patients. The student-athletes take pictures with the patients and thank them for their service in the military.
