In addition, Ryan assisted with other homecoming events including registering donors at the blood drive, collecting donations at the Tiger Food Fight, refereeing the flag football tournament, volunteering at service days and attending talent nights and the community spirit rally. The steering committee was formally recognized on September 27 during the homecoming parade and during the half-time performance at the homecoming football game.
