This time of year, we would typically be heading down to Beale Street to cheer on the Tiger basketball teams at Parent & Family Spring Day. While the party may look a little different this year, you can still participate in some March Madness with our cookie decorating box.
As a family, tune in to cheer on the Tigers as they play in the American Basketball Tournament and decorate yummy butter cookies with provided icing and sprinkles.

Boxes are $20 and can be picked up on campus or locally delivered (within designated zip codes*) for an additional $5 per box.
