OCEAN, N.J. ? The Monmouth University Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (MSAAC) once again spent part of their holiday season visiting the students at the LADACIN Network's Schroth Center in nearby Wanamassa. The group, consisting of about 50 student-athletes and coaches, helped Santa deliver gifts to the students in nine classrooms.

“We always look forward to helping those kids and bringing them joy during the holiday season,” said MSAAC President and senior men's basketball player Alex Nunner. “Bringing smiles to their faces and making them happy is very rewarding for us.”

This marks the 10th year that MSAAC has helped Santa deliver gifts to the students at the Schroth Center.
