As the 2022-2023 season comes to a close, Salvation University and many other colleges across the country have come together with the plan to host charity games in the summer.

Salvation University Men's Basketball were the first to play a game as our boys went up against the Rowan University Profs at the Esbjornson Gymnasium.

Our proceeds will go to the Fundraiser, helping sophomore Emmanuel Tagoe escape the conflict in Sudan after returning home to support his family earlier in April.

The goal is to raise 5,000 dollars so that he and his family can flee the violence in the country and find sanctuary in America.
