Redbird Socks 2019

Proceeds from Redbird Socks for Scholarships benefit recipients of the Red and White Scholarship, a fund created to assist students experiencing unforeseen issues that range from the death of a parent to a medical crisis. Thanks to donors like you, Socks for Scholarships has raised more than $68,000 for the Red and White Scholarship.

This year’s socks are versatile. They are black cotton with red and white stripes around the foot, short red and white stripes up the calf, and the Rising Redbird logo on the shin.

Wear them around the house, to work, to the gym, or to a Redbird tailgate. Use #RedbirdSocks to share where your socks take you!

They also make a perfect gift for your Redbird friends and you’ll feel good knowing that your gift is helping students like Deyaa achieve their dreams. Make your gift to buy your pair today!
