For the week of April 4th to April 10th, SAAC/Spurs organization celebrated Division III Week. Division III week is a specific week where individuals connected with DIII observe and celebrate the impact of athletics and the student-athletes. Each DIII institution is encouraged to hold some sort of an outreach activity which must be from one of the following three categories: academic accomplishment, athletic experience, or a leadership/community service event.
At the Division III level student athletes understand the meaning of “giving back” to the community. The SAAC/Spurs organization chose to collect canned goods and nonperishables at each of the Blazers home games during the week of April 4th to April 10th. Even though the week provided several postponed Blazer events, SAAC/Spurs were still able to collect goods to donate to the Frederick Food Bank.
The entire goal of celebrating Division III week at Hood College is to build a greater awareness and understanding of Division III athletics.
