Belmont Abbey, Converse and Mount Olive Earn Annual Conference Carolinas SAAC Make-A-Wish Awards
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Conference Carolinas handed out its annual Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Make-A-Wish Foundation Awards recently for the 2020-21 academic year.
The annual awards were presented by Commissioner Chris Colvin during the 2021 Conference Carolinas “Leading the Way: Champions in Body, Mind, and Soul” annual SAAC Meeting sponsored by Cambria Hotel Greenville that was held on Friday, Sept. 17 and Saturday, Sept. 18.
Each year, Conference Carolinas gives out the MVP Award to the institution that collects the most funds during the academic year. The Comeback Award is granted to the most improved institution when comparing funds collected from the previous academic year. Finally, the Top Play Award is presented to the institution bringing in the most money across all institutions for a single campus event.
“These are always some of our favorite awards to present to our student-athletes,” Commissioner Colvin said. “This year it is even more special because our student-athletes during a pandemic still found a way to stay committed to raising money for this tremendous cause.”
