SAAC puts Bow on 2021 with Fourth Annual Bingo Night

On Friday, December 10 the Notre Dame of Maryland University Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) hosted their fourth annual bingo night event to help raise $300 that will be donated to the American Cancer Society. This marks the second time and first time since the inaugural "Gators Against Cancer Bingo" night in 2018 in which the donations will be made to the American Cancer Society.


SAAC has chosen to play for and raise money in the past for the American Cancer Society ('18), the American Heart Association ('19), and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, in honor of current and former Gators family members in a virtual edition of last year's bingo night. 


"Being back in person after Covid-19, bingo was a huge success," said SAAC President, junior Sara Morales.  "We had great donations for baskets and we raised a lot of money for both SAAC and the American cancer society. It was a fun-filled night of bringing the athletic community back together." 


SAAC held a 50/50 raffle throughout the night where participants were given an "I play for" ribbon in a color of their choosing to represent individuals they are playing for. The colors of the ribbons handed out were a match with the different cancer awareness ribbons representing the cancer they had chosen to play in honor of.

This will donate $300 to the American Cancer Society after raising $200 for the organization in 2018. The Gators raised $100 for the American Heart Association and donated $500 last year to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
