The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Officers, J.T., President (Baseball); Grace Rodgers, Vice President/Treasurer (Women's Soccer); Ellie Biedenstein, Secretary (Volleyball); and Kaeli Berry, PR/Social Media (Cheerleading) chose to Adopt-A-Family through the Salvation Army as their fall community service project. Grace Rodgers oversaw this initiative for the department.

Initially, Webster Athletics requested to adopt 13 families of varying sizes for each team to adopt. When the Salvation Army responded, they only had one family left to adopt. As a result, all athletics teams came together to adopt this one family.

Webster student-athletes were able to provide all items on the family's wish list and more! In total, Webster student-athletes donated over $1,500 worth of items to make this a very happy and bright holiday for this family in need. Members of the Athletics Department also got in the holiday spirit and donated for this family.

The Salvation Army was overwhelmed with the generosity of Webster University student-athletes.
