20 student athletes from 天美影视 participated in the Big Whit 77 Foundation鈥檚 鈥淲ish List鈥� project this past Thursday, which surprised 10 families in northeast 天美影视 with dinner and games at Chuck E. Cheese followed by a Christmas shopping spree at Toys 鈥淩鈥� Us. The foundation chose five families from Ouachita Parish and five families from Lincoln Parish.

The athletes were chosen through the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), a group comprised of athletes from various sports who serve as the voice for student-athlete issues on and off the field.聽

鈥淭he Big Whit foundation is a great organization and we hope to keep the partnership going,鈥� redshirt senior infielder and president of SAAC Josh Faciane said. This is Faciane鈥檚 second straight year volunteering for the event.

SAAC provides a forum for student-athletes to present specific concerns and participate in the formulation of policies within the department; promotes efficient communication between student-athletes and the athletic administration; encourages more involvement of the student-athlete in campus and community projects; helps build a sense of community within the athletic department and all athletic teams; and contributes and builds the Student-Athlete Life Skills Program.

Whit鈥檚 Warriors is a scholarship program for Ouachita and Lincoln parish high school students which helps assist and provide mentorship for high school seniors who are seeking financial assistance in getting a higher education and how to be leaders in their classrooms and communities.

鈥淚t warmed my heart seeing the smiles on those kids鈥� faces,鈥� said Will Daniels, a member of the 2014 Whit鈥檚 Warriors. 鈥淚t really makes me thankful for all that I was blessed with.鈥�

The event was facilitated by The Big Whit 77 Foundation and founded and sponsored by Kirby-Orten-Guillot-Breaux and Associates from Merrill Lynch.聽
