Galway Bay fm newsroom - NUI Galway Students' Union has launched fundraising socks featuring a tribute to the iconic the Big Yellow Thing sculpture on campus.
The socks, a collaboration with Galway company Irish Socksciety, are on sale now for €9 a pair with all proceeds going to the SU charities AIDS West and Domestic Violence Response.
The "Galway Yellow" sculpture outside the NUIG Library was created by artist Brian King in 1976 and has been a landmark and meeting point for UCG/NUIG students since then.
The socks are on sale now from the SU Office and the SU Shop at NUI Galway.
Students' Union President Clare Austick says they hope past and present staff and students will love the socks as much as we do.
She added they're a great gift and will support the work of two very worthy local charities.
