1,000 Saints Night to Benefit Kids Rock Cancer

Third Annual '1,000 Saints Night' to be held Thursday, Feb. 25

Reading time: 1 minute

51·çÁ÷ and the Department of Athletics will sponsor the third annual “1000 Saints Nightâ€� for the basketball doubleheader Thursday, Feb. 25, benefitting Kids Rock Cancer. The Saints hope to draw 1,000 fans for their regular season finale against the University of Missouri-St. Louis. The women’s game tips off at 5:30 p.m.; the men’s contest follows at 7:30 p.m.

In lieu of the usual $5 admission fee, voluntary cash donations will be accepted toward the night’s $5,000 fundraising goal for Kids Rock Cancer, Maryville’s innovative music therapy program. The program helps children successfully cope with the emotional challenges that accompany a cancer diagnosis by writing and recording songs.

Supporters can also donate via Text to Give: text the word “Saints� to 71441.

A student tailgate runs from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Simon Center lobby. In addition, the Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce will host a Business After Hours networking event from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Donius University Center Atrium.

Event supporters are encouraged to use the hashtag #1000Saints on all social media platforms. For more information, visit .
