STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI) — Mississippi State University and Ole Miss students are getting in the zone for the upcoming Unified Egg Bowl.

The event, scheduled to begin 3 p.m. tomorrow on the MSU intramural field, pits teams composed of Special Olympians and students against one another.

Special Olympics Mississippi CEO and President Tony Bahou says the event is a good way to raise awareness about intellectual disabilities.

Individuals can donate to either team. Funds raised through donations will go toward bolstering Special Olympics Mississippi.

As a perk, whichever team has the most contributions come kick off time will start the game with a three-point lead.
