Hugging Heroes’ official launch was on October 10th, 2015 at Rutgers’ Blackout game versus Michigan State. Hugging Heroes is centered around a social challenge:

1. The Hugging Challenge, to share an image of you hugging your hero (“hero” being anyone or anything)

2. Post it on Facebook

3. Challenge your friends to do the same using #HuggingHeroes. Similar to the famous “Ice Bucket Challenge”.
