In addition to the men’s and women’s basketball victories over Ohio Dominican University last Thursday, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee had an equally triumphant evening. They raised more that $2,000 for Pink Wave, the breast cancer awareness initiative.
“We are happy with the support and grateful for the generosity we saw in one night,” said senior Clara Leutheuser, president of SAAC.
The money raised from T-shirt sales, two three-point contests, and raffles helped the SAAC raise double its goal of $1,000.
Junior Emily Peltier, a member of SAAC, sold T-shirts at the game.
“It went really well,” she said. “We had a lot of student support and raised money for breast-cancer awareness, which was great. I think it’s a good thing. Every year the students get behind it.”
