ABILENE, Texas McMurry University's annual "kickoff" event to welcome back its scholar-athletes for the year ahead took on a higher purpose for the 2017-18 event, held Monday (Sept. 4) evening in Kimbrell Arena. The War Hawks representing the school's 20 intercollegiate teams, as well as auxiliary programs amassed a huge cache of cleaning items, to be assembled into "flood buckets" that will aid in the clean-up efforts by Hurricane Harvey victims.
