As part of our "Bleed Orange, Live Green" campaign, Texas Athletics is committed to reach a zero waste goal by 2020. With their distinctive green shirts, the Equinor Sustainability Squad serves as the face of Texas Athletics' sustainability efforts to fans on gamedays. The squad is composed of two volunteer groups -- the Spirit Squad and Sort Squad -- who are present at every Football home game, as well as Baseball and Softball games. The Spirit Squad members educate fans about how to recycle and compost, explain the zero waste goal, and monitor the stadium's recycling and compost bins. The Sort Squad sorts through waste generated throughout the game and ensures collection of compost and recycling.
Volunteers receive service hours as well as a free T-shirt.
FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY
UT student organizations and other non-profit groups who are interested in earning fundraising dollars for their organizations may participate in the Sort or Spirit Squads as a group. A minimum of five people must participate together to be considered a group. There is no maximum number for how many people may volunteer as one group. We use a tiered pricing structure, based on the number of people in your group. All volunteers must be at least 18 years of age or older. For more information, please contact sustainability@athletics.utexas.edu.
