Aggies CAN Food Drive Collecting Donations at Home Events

COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is collecting donations for its 18^th annual Aggies CAN food drive benefitting the Brazos Valley Food Bank and the 12^th Can at numerous home events throughout the week.
 
The group is accepting canned good and monetary donations at the men's and women's basketball season openers Wednesday, volleyball and men's basketball Friday and at football on Saturday. Every donation receives a coupon for a free Whataburger while supplies last. 
 
Aggies CAN, which began in 2000, has evolved into the largest student-athlete volunteer-run canned food drive in the nation.
 
Last year, the Aggies CAN food drive donated over $10,000 to the Texas A&M student organization, BTHO (Built To Help Others), which was used for Hurricane Harvey relief.
 
SAAC is a student organization comprised of student-athlete representatives from each Texas A&M athletics team. The group advocates for student-athlete welfare in the Athletics Department, on campus, within the SEC and within the NCAA while developing as leaders. 
 
SAAC also plans service projects for all student-athletes to have an opportunity to give back to the Bryan-College Station community.
