The Southeastern Conference, Regions Bank and Raycom have teamed for One Yard Gained = One tree, a fundraiser that will see Regions make a donation to the Arbor Day Foundation for the planting of a new tree for every yard gained during a Raycom’s SEC Game of the Week.
In a release from the SEC, it says the One Yard Gained = One Tree effort will help restore forest areas in the Southeastern United States. On top of donations to the Arbor Day Foundation, Regions will also plant a tree in the home team’s community.
Raycom’s SEC Game of the Week begins this weekend with Florida hosting Hawaii Saturday at 11:30 a.m. Other games of the week will be Southern Miss at Auburn on Sept. 6 and UAB at Tennessee on Sept. 13.
