SPOKANE, Wash. — Basketball teams from Washington State University (WSU) and Eastern Washington University (EWU) are teaming up to support families in need this Thanksgiving through a friendly competition dubbed the "Battle of the Bags."

- WSU Cougars will be at the Rosauers store on Sprague Avenue in Spokane Valley.
- EWU Eagles will set up at the Rosauers store on 29th Avenue on Spokane’s South Hill.
The event takes place on Wednesday, Nov. 20, from 4 to 6 p.m.
KREM 2’s own Tom Sherry will join the Cougars in the Valley, while Mark Hanrahan will be cheering on the Eagles on the South Hill.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Tom’s Turkey Drive, which provides Thanksgiving meals for families in need. Community members are encouraged to stop by, meet their favorite team, and help make the season brighter for those in need.
