Sage will host RPI on November 22 at 7 p.m. in the Kahl Center in the home opener. A wide variety of activities will take place in conjunction with the home opener as Sage's SAAC will be sponsoring a food drive. Sage's student-athletes are asking for your help in making a difference in the Troy community! They have joined forces with the Troy Women's Club to help the Roarke Food Pantry in Troy stock their shelves for the holidays.
For the rest of the fall semester, Sage's student-athletes will be on hand at home athletic events to collect your non-perishable food items. If you are planning on attending a Gator event, please bring a donation. The center is need of unopened food items, especially soups and juices to assist with those in need of healthy food items. Sage's teams will be on hand with collection boxes at upcoming contests as we assist the community with a need, especially leading up to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons.
In addition, Sage's SAAC will also be sponsoring a promotion in conjunction with the home contest as they will be giving out free Swamp t-shirts to the first 15 Sage students with IDs at the contest.
