Santa Gaiter to stop by Bishop’s on Friday

Friday night will not only mark the final home games of the semester for the Bishop’s University Gaiters men’s and women’s basketball teams but it will also have a special holiday flare as Santa Gaiter will be in attendance to collect non-perishable food items in benefit of Lennoxville Elementary School.

The women’s game against the Laval Rouge et Or is set to tip-off at 6 p.m. in Mitchell Gymnasium on the Bishop’s University campus. The men will follow starting at 8 p.m.

At 5:30 p.m. Santa Gaiter will make his appearance. There will be a photo booth set-up and the Bishop’s University Cheerleaders will be on hand, for patrons who bring a non-perishable food item. They will have their chance to get a photo taken with Santa Gaiter. Donations will also be accepted.

The initiative is in collaboration with the Bishop’s University Commerce Society, the Golden Key Society and the APBU Faculty and Staff who are all working to support this community cause.

“We have many ties to Lennoxville Elementary School,” said Matt Mcbrine, Director of Athletics and Recreation at Bishop’s University. “I think this is a wonderful initiative started by BUCS, Golden Key and the APBU, we are happy to help out, especially at this time of the year.”
