Re:       WVU "Coal Rush" Set For Saturday Night; Discounted Football Tickets Available 

West Virginia University will host nationally ranked Iowa State this Saturday (October 12) in the “Energy Appreciation” game with employees of energy companies offered discounted tickets which may be purchased herehttps://fevo-enterprise.com/event/f24energyday

Kickoff is set for 8 pm and the football team will be accompanied by miners from Arch Resources' Leer Mining Complex as they enter Mountaineer Field donning the new COAL RUSH JERSEYS to pay tribute to the state’s coal mining industry.

As expected, the industry is receiving widespread attention for its historic connection to West Virginia which we are perpetuating through the Associations and Friends of Coal social media platforms and by the attached op-ed released yesterday to statewide media outlets.

The Association has joined with Member Iron Senergy to host a Tent and tailgate party in the Blue lot near the stadium entrance. Arch Resources will also have a tent in the Blue Lot. Please stop by! 

Please circulate this announcement to people within your organization that may be interested in attending this game.
