Show your Roadrunner pride from head to toe with a pair of limited-edition Metropolitan State University of Denver socks when you make a gift of $25 to the Student Emergency Fund during Socktober. For every $25 gift you make, you will receive one pair of socks and another pair of socks will be donated to a student in need.

The Student Emergency Fund supports current MSU Denver students who are dealing with an unanticipated financial emergency. Your gift will directly support a student in need as they continue on their journey to achieving the American dream of earning a college degree.

According to a recent survey of MSU Denver students:

• 44% were food insecure in the prior 30 days; 45% worry about running out of food before having money to buy more; 47% cannot afford to eat balanced meals.
• 62% were housing-insecure in the previous year.
• 17% were homeless in the previous year.

A small act of kindness can have a huge impact on the life of an MSU Denver student. Make your gift today and share a pair of socks during Socktober to warm the feet of fellow Roadrunners so they can continue to Run With Us!
