JONESBORO, Ark. (12/18/25) – The Arkansas State women’s basketball team is partnering with the Warm and Loved program to offer fans free admission to Saturday’s home contest against South Alabama.

A-State will be collecting winter hats, scarves and gloves during Saturday’s game, and anyone making a donation of these items will receive free admission to the 2 p.m. contest. All the collected items will then be given to the Warm & Loved program, a student-run community service project at Jonesboro’s Visual & Performing Arts school. Students in the fourth-grade ACE class at VPA bag the winter items up, add notes of encouragement and then make them available to the public for free by placing them on the chain-link fence near the school on Wilkins Ave. in Jonesboro. 

Warm & Loved also provides hats, scarves and gloves to other area schools as well as the Jonesboro Police Department for distribution to those in need. 

In addition to collection of these items, Saturday’s game will also feature a Hijinx Kids’ Zone on the concourse of First National Bank Arena. The free Kids’ Zone will have inflatables and other games and activities for young fans and will open along with FNB Arena doors at 1 p.m.

Plus, Santa will be in attendance at Saturday’s game, posing for photos, meeting with fans and taking part in several in-game contests and promotions.

Fans unable to take part in the hat, scarf and gloves drive can still get $4 tickets to Saturday’s contest as part of A-State’s Howliday Deals promotion. To take advantage of the offer, fans are encouraged to go to https://bit.ly/Howlidays25, where there are tickets savings available on all home basketball games during the Holiday Break, as well as men’s and women’s basketball and baseball season tickets.
