2010 has rolled around and the Student
Athlete Advisor Committee (SAAC) here
at Brevard College has been hard at work.
This special group of student athletes has
joined together to make the lives of your BC
athletes easier and more fulfilled. However
we also focus on making the lives of others
better, by raising money for our chosen
charity - the Make-a-Wish Foundation. As
a group, we have already undertaken several
projects including “Kids Night Ouf’, Make-
a-Wish Stars, and loose-coin collections.
On Dec. 12, 2009 SAAC hosted the
aimual “Kids Night Out” in which several
kids from the local area came out to
Boshamer Gymnasium to interact with
student athletes and coaches. Stay tuned
- News —
from S.A.A.C.
for another Kids Night event to take place
in the Spring!!
Another fundraising initiative that we
have taken on is the selling of Make-A-Wish
stars for one dollar in which all proceeds
will go to the foundation. SAAC members
will be selhng these stars for the remainder
of the year at various sporting events around
campus.
Through this collected effort SAAC
has already raised around $300 and will
continue to raise money through the end of
the year. Although this is a great start we
need your help in reaching our goal of $2000
to beat out our rival conference schools
in the miming for most money collected!
Every peimy donated goes directly to Make-
A-Wish Foundation and helps hundreds of
children worldwide.
SAAC is also assisting in the Hope for
Haiti fundraising effort to bring rehef to the
deadly effects of the recent earthquake. To
help with these efforts just text the word
The Clarion \ Feb. 19, 2010
“QUAKE” to the number 22202 and $10
will automatically be donated to the Hope
for Haiti fund out of your monthly cell
phone bill!
In addition to fundraising, the SAAC
committee recently helped coordinate the
basketball event “Pink Zone” which was a
great success. SAAC Vice President Cori
Emory won the “Tater Tots for Ta Ta’s”
contest and raised around $300.
The committee as a whole has also been
working hard to improve conditions and
relations in all athletic areas, including
athletic training, coaches’ relations, NCAA
rules and regulations, college policies, and
off-season conditions.
If you have any questions or concerns
regarding athletics, or would like to represent
your team in the SAAC, please contact
Coach Stubbs, Millie Wharton or Nathan
Whitmire. Good luck with the conclusion
of winter sports and the kick off of spring
seasons!!
