Saint Anselm Honored for Make-A-Wish Contributions 

Manchester, N.H. (January 26) -- On Friday night at Sullivan Arena, the Saint Anselm Student-Athlete Advisory Committee was honored for again leading all of NCAA Division II for contributions to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

During the first-period intermission, Northeast-10 Assistant Commissioner Erin Callahan presented a plaque to Saint Anselm Director of Athletics Ed Cannon, Associate Director Donna Guimont, and two members of the Saint Anselm Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (Andrew Roy - Men's Lacrosse, Colleen Gilbride - Women's Cross Country).

"We are certainly proud of our student-athletes here at Saint Anselm and of our Student-Athlete Advisory Committee for their contributions each year,guided by our associate director of athletics Donna Guimont" said Cannon. "Being recognized for this worthy cause is a measuring stick of the overall atmosphere of the Saint Anselm community and how everyone embraces the spirit of giving throughout the campus."

During the 2005-2006 academic year, the Division II Student-Athlete Advisory Committee sponsored a Make-A-Wish Foundation fundraising campaign. The Northeast-10 Conference's total contribution to Make-A-Wish was the largest of any Division II Conference in the country. For the third year in a row, Saint Anselm was the largest single contributor in the Northeast-10 and all of Division II with a total contribution of $4,050.
