Recent SAAC Activity

"Pennies for a Purpose"

The USA South Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) announced its new spring community service initiative, "Pennies for a Purpose". This penny drive continued until Sunday, April 6. Until that time, schools were encouraged to collect loose change which will later be donated to an organization of their choosing. MBC Athletics and the SAAC have chosen to give their pennies to Relay for Life. Student-Athletes collected a grand total of $580.61, enough for 2nd place overall. Thanks to everyone that helped make this activity a success.

Relay For Life of Mary Baldwin College, March 15, 2008

Each year, across the nation, one event brings together entire communities to take part in the fight against cancer. That event is the American Cancer Society Relay For Life®. It’s a time and place where people come to celebrate those who have survived cancer, remember those we’ve lost, and fight back against a disease that touches too many lives. This year, MBC athletics participated with a team that helped to raise money for this great cause. The Athletics team was 5th out of 18 teams raising money. We had 18 Teams, 125 Participants and Raised: $15,870.95 so far
