“These Cyclone legends have been incredibly generous by providing these items to us with hopes it helps spread the word and brings awareness to the work we are doing to help current Cyclone student-athletes,” said Brent Blum, executive director of the We Will Collective. 

“In under a year, we have grown to over 2,000 donors to We Will, but we need all of Cyclone Nation to be a part of this and support. Brock, Breece and Allen are providing a great impact to help spread the word in a fun way through this giveaway.”

“The current Cyclones see the support of our We Will donors and it is having a tremendous impact on keeping Iowa State competitive in this new climate. We can’t thank the Cyclone Nation enough for their continued, loyal support,” Blum said.
