INAUGURAL BLACK LIGHT GRAFFITI DANCE SPONSORED BY STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE RAISES OVER $4,000 FOR THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION.

SYRACUSE, NY – The Le Moyne College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) sponsored the inaugural Black Light Graffiti Dance on Saturday, March 29th on the Le Moyne College campus. With hundreds of Le Moyne student in attendance, SAAC raised $4,071.05 to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

One week prior to the event, Le Moyne College student-athletes sold t-shirts featuring the Make-A-Wish logo which served as the means for admission to the dance. In this time, student-athletes sold over 400 t-shirts. In the process, SAAC members educated the Le Moyne community on the importance of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and how they can partake in granting wishes to children with life-threatening conditions.

“The dance turned out to be very successful and we had a tremendous turnout and not just from student athletes, but the entire Le Moyne community, said junior Damani Corbin (men’s basketball). “I am ecstatic to know that we have raised over $4000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.”

"This event exemplifies why Le Moyne is such a great college and demonstrates the positive impact the principles of a Jesuit education have when put into action,” said Associate Athletic Director Tim Fenton. The event would have not been a success if it were not for the help from many groups on campus.
“The success of this event was directly attributed to the support our SAAC received from our campus community ranging from the student-athletes, the student body, LSPB (Le Moyne Student Programming Board), the Office of Student Development, Campus Security, the Physical Plant and the Department of Athletics."

Comprised of 32 Le Moyne student-athletes, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee is designed to enhance the overall student-athlete experience by promoting opportunities and experiences for student-athlete development, protecting student-athlete welfare, fostering a positive student-athlete image and organizing community service initiatives.
