Marcus Mariota, Oregon partnering to send local kids to Hawaii game
Marcus Mariota and the Motiv8 Foundation have partnered with Sabrina Ionescu, Justin Herbert, and Oregon Athletics to send local area kids to the Ducks’ Sept. 16 football game against Hawaii at Autzen Stadium.
Mariota, a Honolulu native and Heisman winner at Oregon, launched a campaign this week to help send 1,000 kids to the game against the Rainbow Warriors. Oregon is asking that fans purchase $25 game tickets, which will be donated to the local Eugene Boys and Girls Club of Emerald Valley and Kidsports, among others. Mariota’s foundation will also be providing specialty-designed shirts to every child with a ticket.
“For (Hawaii) to come play the University of Oregon, especially with all the ties and all the connections, it’s a really special matchup,” Mariota told Oregon’s Rob Moseley. “Personally for me, I’m always Ducks through and through. But it’s really cool to see this matchup again.”
