"Throughout this recovery process, the athletic community has played a crucial role in providing assistance to victims of Harvey, and this game adds to those efforts. Just as Texans will always come together to support their team, they will always unite to help those in need, and I thank The University of Texas, Texas A&M University and Rice University for putting this event together."
General public parking will be available on a first-come, first-served basis around Tudor Fieldhouse at a cost of $5.
There will be no television coverage of the event, but both schools will feature a radio broadcast.

Mike Perrin, University of Texas Men's Athletics Director
"What a wonderful opportunity this is, and I'm thrilled we're teaming up with our longtime rival in this very unique event. I encourage all Longhorn fans in the Houston area to proudly fill Tudor Fieldhouse on Wednesday night and join us in support of this statewide cause. As a lifelong Houston resident, I understand the impact that Hurricane Harvey had on so many lives and the need for continued aid and donations to help rebuild. This is a time for all Texans to come together in support of the Houston community."

"Our student-athletes and staff shook off the impact of Hurricane Harvey to provide countless hours of assistance during our city's recovery, but that work is ongoing. We are proud to host this event and provide even more support to those in our community who continue to rebuild their lives."
