FARMINGDALE, N.Y. | The Farmingdale State College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is excited to play host to a holiday toy drive, as part of the 75th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps Toys for Tots Foundation, from now until December 12 (Mon.) in Nold Hall.
Members of the FSC community are encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys to the donation boxes in Nold over the next several weeks, as well as during the upcoming FSC men's and women's basketball home contests.
"Rallying our athletics program around such a noteworthy cause gives us a sense of community," said senior Marina Zumbrunn, president of the Farmingdale State SAAC and co-captain of the Rams' women's lacrosse team. "The 18 varsity programs will be able to come together as a whole over the next three-plus weeks and give back to those who could use some help this year. Giving back allows FSC Athletics a sense of pride in what we do year-round, both in competition and in the community."
