Wesleyan to sponsor "Cans Across the Conference" event

Rocky Mount, NC - The USA South Athletic Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is conducting its fourth annual "Cans Across the Conference" competition.  The yearly fundraiser involves the collection of canned goods for donation to needy organizations and families during the holiday season.  North Carolina Wesleyan will be sponsoring this worthy cause by offering free admission to Saturday's football game to anyone who donates five canned items at the gate.

Bishop fans who already receive free admission, including faculty/staff, students, media, and BBC members, are still encouraged to participate in this event.  All donations should be dropped off at the main gate.

Saturday’s contest could be one of the biggest in the program's brief history.  The Bishops will host Ferrum College at 1:00 p.m., and with a win, Wesleyan clinches its first USA South Conference Championship and NCAA playoff berth.  Making the day even more special is the pre-game ceremony in which head coach Jack Ginn will honor the program's inaugural senior class.

The “Cans Across the Conference” competition will run through mid-November, and at that time, a trophy will be awarded to the USA South member institution that collects the most items.
