Monmouth College student-athletes will once again this holiday season reach out to special needs residents in the immediate Monmouth area through the Monmouth College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Angel Tree.

      SAAC's annual Angel Tree project – organized by Fighting Scots student-athletes Darice Brooks (women's soccer), Andrew Domkuski (men's swimming) and Nate Jacobs (men's golf) – has the names of approximately 30 special needs adults and youth. The angel's names are located in the athletic office of the college's Huff Athletic Center and will be available for pick up through the first week of December.

      Anyone from the campus or community interested in purchasing gifts for the special needs residents should select an angel as soon as possible. Gifts should be wrapped with the angel attached to the gift and returned to the Huff Athletic Center office by Dec. 7. SAAC volunteers will deliver the gifts to the Warren Achievement Center on Dec. 15.
