Bison Nation helping Texas tornado relief with donations!!!

[wtffootballfan]

I haven't seen this on Bisonville yet, so I started this thread. Over at #1 NDSU Bison Fan's Facebook group, there are trying to get Bison fans to bring donations to Texas for tornado relief. Some towns near Fricso were hit by tornado's last week. They are working with the alumni association for drop off spots. Sounds like KFGO will be helping out on Monday. Texas media is already doing stories about Bison fans bringing donations to Texas. Stop over at #1 NDSU Bison Fan's Facebook group to help out and with any ideas.

This should give Bisonation something to do this week.

I was hoping Bisonviller's could help. Any ideas are welcome.

1. Does anyone have or know of someone that has room to bring donations?
2. Any ideas for drop off spots?
3. Can somebody spread this on Twitter?

https://www.legacyer.com/ Legacy Urgent Care was on the list of places that are accepting donations. There is one in Frisco, not far from the stadium.

Thanks for posting this. I see you can donate money too in a few of the links above. For those in Bison Nation that don't live near Fargo or are not driving down for the game, consider giving a monetary donation. Disaster centers are always in need of cash to provide medications, food, water, etc.

I don't want to post any names, but my sister-in-law grew up in Buffalo ND and graduated from Moorhead State.

She had a two story brick house. After the tornado 80% of her house was gone and their cars were destroyed.

Her and her husband were home and crouched in a bathroom, about the only spot that wasn't ripped up. Her kids were gone, 1 at college and 1 at the mall. Thank goodness because their bedrooms were completely gone.

We've gone to Frisco all 4 years, and each year she's joined us for tailgating and partying with their Bison friends. This year they're busy cleaning up.

Her house was only 10 or 20 minutes from Frisco. Frisco was awfully lucky to miss the storm.
