The SAAC will also be collecting for the Pajama Project at the Mercy College men's and women's basketball doubleheaders on Dec. 9 and 12 against Bridgeport and Queens. Tip off is at 5 p.m. on Dec. 9 and at noon on Dec. 12. All fans are encouraged to participate.

About the Pajama Program
The Pajama Program, a 501(c3) not for profit organization, provides
new warm pajamas and new books to children in need in the United
States and around the world, many of whom are waiting and hoping to
be adopted. These are youngsters who may not know the comforts of a
mother or father to tuck them into a cozy bed and read them a
bedtime story. Too many have been abandoned, most deprived of any
love at all.
