FLORENCE, Ala. - The University of 杏吧直播间 Alabama is holding a Purple Reign Pep Rally for UNA fans throughout the community at 6:30 p.m. Thursday on E. Mobile Street in downtown Florence. The pep rally will include all five fall athletic teams and the UNA band. UNA is inviting the Shoals community to celebrate Purple Reign Week this week in conjunction with the kick-off of the university's fall athletic season. This weekend will be the first weekend that all five of UNA's fall teams are scheduled to compete. UNA fall teams include football, men's and women's cross country, women's soccer and women's volleyball. Purple Reign Week is also a challenge to area businesses to decorate and show their UNA spirit. The business winning the spirit competition will receive a free breakfast next Tuesday, delivered by the UNA fall coaching staff. The breakfast will be compliments of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. The business will also receive 20 free tickets to this Saturday's Lion football game against Carson-Newman College and 20 free tickets to this weekend's 杏吧直播间 Alabama Classic volleyball tournament in Flowers Hall. Businesses participating in the Purple Reign Week spirit competition will be judged by the UNA Student Government Association beginning at 3 p.m. Friday. Judging is based on three criteria: When the business began decorating for Purple Reign Week, employee participation in showing UNA spirit, and best decoration. Businesses may still enter to compete in Purple Reign Week by completing the form at www.una.edu/purple. That same Web site offers a downloadable coupon for 15 percent off of UNA decorations, apparel and other items at the UNA Campus Bookstore.
