BLOOMSBURG, Pa. – Bloomsburg Athletics, in partnership with the Tyler J. Horst Foundation, has launched the "Sponsor a Month for Tyler" campaign to support the Tyler Horst Nutritional Center, which provides student-athletes with daily access to healthy snacks and hydration options.

The initiative invites alumni, local businesses, and community members to sponsor a month at the center with a $2,000 donation. Each month of sponsorship helps fund nutritious items such as Gatorade, protein shakes, and light food options that aid Huskies student-athletes in their training, recovery, and academic performance.

"This program has had such a positive impact on our student-athletes, and we're excited to give people a chance to support it while honoring Tyler's memory," said Director of Athletics Dr. Michael McFarland. "Tyler embodied everything great about being a Husky, and this initiative allows his spirit to continue making a difference in the lives of our current and future student-athletes."

The Tyler Horst Nutritional Center, located in Nelson Field House, was established in 2022 in memory of Tyler Horst, a former Bloomsburg football player who passed away unexpectedly in 2021 at the age of 22. Horst was known for his leadership, academic excellence, and ambition to serve as a U.S. Navy SEAL. His legacy of compassion and dedication lives on through the center, which serves all Bloomsburg student-athletes.

Sponsors will be recognized as the Tyler Horst Nutritional Center Sponsor of the Month on Bloomsburg Athletics' social media platforms and on the Nutritional Center's webpage.
