JBU Triple Blessings Event a Success

Women's basketball players Emily Ortiz and Staffica Bain prepare to deliver canned goods from the Triple Blessings Community Day Events to the Manna Center.

Siloam Springs, Ark. (January 10, 2011) - The John Brown University athletic department hosted “Triple Blessings” Community Day Events during the three home basketball contests that occurred during the Christmas break. On those three game days, fans received free admission to the JBU games after making a donation to the Siloam Springs Manna Center.

On Monday, members of the women’s basketball team presented 161 canned goods, which totaled 175 pounds, to the center.

Every year, JBU athletics hosts several community day events to help lend a hand to local charities in the community.
