If numbers are any indication the 2010 SAAC Formal was a huge success as the event raised more than twice the amount as the year before.
Every year the Saint Benedict SAAC teams up with Saint John’s SAAC to sponsor an athlete dinner and school wide dance benefiting an area of Special Olympics. This year’s dinner saw over 440 athletes gather around to celebrate each others achievements in sports.
Around 600 students took part in the dance, themed Caribbean Nights, roughly raising just under $3,000 for charity.
“The dinner and the dance were truly huge successes for Saint Benedict and Saint John’s athletics, but more importantly for Special Olympics,” said junior tennis player Kylie Huether (Sioux Falls, SD , Washington). “Without a problem, we will be able to fully sponsor the Area 7 Track and Field Meet which will be held Saturday, May 15th, at Paynesville High School.”
