Since its 2021 inception, Florida A&M's Strike Tour has been a gateway for Rattler coaches and athletic administrators to engage with alumni across the country and region and raise money for the department.
The Strike Tour, which helps funnel FAMU graduates and donor dollars into the Rattler Athletic Fund, has made a significant difference on The Highest of Seven Hills. For example, the first one in summertime 2021 raised over $500,000 across 11 stops.
The Strike Tour returns in 2026, beginning with a stop at Broward College's Bailey Hall in Davie this Friday, July 10. Start time is at 6 p.m.
It'll feature new head football coach Quinn Fordham Gray Sr., head men's basketball coach Charlie Ward, and head women's basketball coach Bridgette Gordon. It's Gray's and Ward's first Strike Tour.
"The Strike Tour is more than a series of events. It's an opportunity to reconnect alumni, supporters, and friends of Florida A&M University around a common purpose: investing in the success of our student-athletes," said Retired Lt. Col. Ricardo "Rick" Kinsey, the president of the Rattler-in-Arms.
