Monmouth Student-Athletes' Angel Tree Now in Its 11th Year

Monmouth, IL (11/26/2019) — Now in its 11th year helping special needs in the Monmouth area, Monmouth College's student-athletes are once again reaching out through the college's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC).

Organized by four Scot's student-athletes - track and field's Aleeka Gentzer (Paxton, Ill.), men's golf's Zach Ferris (Galesburg, Ill.) and cross country's Mike Bersell (Galva, Ill.) and Kirsten Menke (Peoria, Ill.) - SAAC's annual Angel Tree project lists more than 50 special needs adults and youth from the area. The angels' names are located in the athletic office of the college's Huff Athletic Center and are currently available for pickup.

Anyone from the campus or community interested in purchasing gifts for the special needs residents should select an angel as soon as possible and return the wrapped gift with the angel's name attached, to the Huff Athletic Center office by Dec. 9.

SAAC volunteers will deliver the gifts to the Warren Achievement Center later in the week.
