Together We CAN Drive

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
The Southeastern Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is coordinating its fourth annual league-wide food drive during the dates of Sept. 17-26. All 12 SEC institutions will participate by collecting food and financial donations at various sporting events, community locations and on campuses.
 
Led by student-athletes, the SEC Together We CAN Drive is designed to support food banks and shelters throughout the southeast. And since the project began in 2007, more than 236,000 pounds of food and money have been donated by SEC fans to the community.
 
The SEC SAAC is comprised of two student-athletes from each institution. The SAAC was established in 1992 to serve as a medium of communication through which student-athletes, conference administrators, institutional representatives and coaches discuss and take action on issues relating to rules governance, student-athlete welfare and community service.
 
Members of the SEC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee for 2010-11 are: Calli Johnson (Alabama, volleyball); Kyle Weeks (Alabama, men's swimming & diving); Terry Prentice (Arkansas, men's track & field); Gina Bargiachi (Arkansas, women's swimming & diving); Addison Ragsdale (Auburn, women's soccer); Morgan Murphy (Auburn, softball); Bobby Walsh (Florida, men's swimming & diving); Alicia Goodwin (Florida, gymnastics);  Travis Voyles (Georgia, men's cross country/track & field); Taylor Adams (Georgia, women's cross country/track & field); Kayla Sergesketter (Kentucky, women's swimming & diving); J.D.
