Moore, Oklahoma continues to recover from Monday’s devastating tornadoes. This morning, UK AD Mitch Barnhart got on Twitter to show his support for the recovery efforts, and asked the BBN to help out. Barnhart said that he, Matthew Mitchell and Mark Stoops have all made pledges to the Red Cross relief efforts and encouraged UK fans to do the same by donating online at RedCross.org or texting “REDCROSS” to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Barnhart asked that fans send out a tweet afterwards with the hashtag #BBNCares to show the fanbase’s united support for the victims.

Barnhart’s brother Eric lives three miles from where the tornado hit, and while he is safe, Barnhart says the devastation has hit close to home.
