There’s still time to make a gift and get a pair of exclusive MSU Denver socks.

The second annual Socktober is already a smashing success!

In the first two weeks, generous donors dedicated to the Student Emergency Fund, the Dreamer Emergency Fund and the Roadrunner Food Pantry raised more than $7,600 and ensured that a minimum of 300 students in need will keep their toes warm this winter in a pair of Metropolitan State University of Denver socks. 

There is still time to get your socks and support your Roadrunner family. For every gift of $25 ($15 is tax-deductible) you make to one of the emergency funds or the Roadrunner Food Pantry, you and a student in need will receive a pair of cozy socks – this year, there are two new designs from which to choose.

Show your Roadrunner pride from head to toe with a pair of limited-edition MSU Denver socks this Socktober and ensure that our students receive the critical support they need to continue pursuing their educational dreams during difficult times.

For more information about making a gift to the Student or Dreamer Emergency Fund or the Roadrunner Food Pantry, contact Bre Milnes, director of annual giving. To learn more about the Student Emergency Fund, the Dreamer Emergency Fund and the Roadrunner Food Pantry, contact the MSU Denver CARE Team.
