GATA: Giving Aid Through Athletics
STATESBORO, Ga. - Georgia Southern student-athletes have been working hard over the past several months to raise money and donate materials to victims of the recent hurricanes that affected Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas.
Athletes collected over 1,500 items for victims of Hurricane Irma that were then distributed in Glynn County. Bins and designated drop-off areas were placed in different areas around campus and athletes attended home sporting events to collect the materials.
The items were collected over the course of 10 separate events and were donated to Safe Harbour. Soaps, canned foods, bottled water, toiletries, and a variety of other items were donated.
