LA MIRADA, Calif. --- Each year the PacWest Conference encourages its member institutions to participate in a conference-wide canned food drive. This year, Biola's student-athlete advisory committee (SAAC) is focusing it's attention on home games in February to collect as much as possible to benefit the food bank ministry at nearby Grace Evangelical Free Church.

All month long SAAC representatives will be at each ticketed home athletic event collecting cans from visitors and Biola fans alike. A donation of five canned goods will be good for one admission to an athletic event (general admission price is normally $10). The only exception is M/W Basketball vs. Azusa Pacific on February 11. Cans are welcome that day, but may not be used towards admission. Biola students, staff, faculty and alumni are always granted free admission to home events, but we encourage you to consider donating as well.

Additionally, donations will be accepted to the athletics office all throughout the month. To arrange a drop-off simply drop by during regular business hours or arrange with Neil Morgan via neil.morgan@biola.edu.

January 27, 2023 - Basketball vs. Chaminade
