Vanderbilt’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee hosted their annual Holiday Party on Friday, December 8th for underprivileged children from the Andrew Jackson Boys and Girls Club.
All sports were represented, as each team provided gifts for the kids. In addition to the presents, children had the opportunity to play basketball, and participate in other activities while also having the chance to get their picture taken with Santa Claus (Vanderbilt Football’s own Chris Williams).
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) has been active with the Boys and Girls Club and the community for several years. Comprised of two student-athlete representatives from every sport, SAAC’s goal is to connect student-athletes with their campus and community.
Marcus Lilliard, the Director of the Andrew Jackson Boys and Girls Club, said, “Once again, Vanderbilt has saved the day! The Holiday Party on Friday was phenomenal. The kids continue to stress the “fun” that took place. Again, thanks for helping the children at the Andrew Jackson Boys & Girls Club.”
