Raise Your Pick Giving Day 2023

Gifts to SAAC go directly to the student-athlete leaders seeking to positively impact the UTEP student-athlete experience through events, development, and engagement. 

The UTEP Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is comprised of student-athletes from all 17 sports. These student-athletes work with their peers and teammates with a goal to enhance the overall experience of UTEP student-athletes, protect student-athlete welfare, and build student-athlete leaders. 

“SAAC is an integral part of the Athletic Department. They are the leaders that lend their voices and ideas to change and enhancement. Additional money will give SAAC the opportunity to keep up with the everchanging landscape of student-athlete well-being needs. With funds, SAAC will have the capability to plan more development and engagement events as well adequately give back to the El Paso community. We are excited to see what great impact these student-athletes can make with your help!”

With additional funds to the UTEP SAAC Program, they can expand outreach efforts by purchasing health kits for people without homes, shirts for elementary schools, assessments and speaker fees for development, mental health resources for positive wellness conversations, giveaways for the UTEP student community to spread more UTEP spirit, gear for branding and community activities, and much more. 

If UTEP SAAC is able to utilize funds for enhanced engagement then they will be one step closer to being a conference and nationally recognized group and make UTEP and the city of El Paso proud.
