The Charlotte 49ers and Harris Teeter partnered to raise money and gather food at the 49ers' men's basketball game against Florida International on Saturday, Feb. 4, 2017. For every Niners' assist during the game, Harris Teeter committed to donate $50 worth of food to the Boy Scouts of Mecklenburg County's "Scouting for Food" program, benefiting Loaves & Fishes.
The team dished out 12 assists in their 95-80 win, which brings Harris Teeter's total donation to $600. Additionally, Boy Scouts, volunteers from Loaves & Fishes and Harry the Happy Dragon were on-site at Halton Arena collecting canned food and money for "Scouting for Food" before and during the game.
