Widener University’s Student Athlete Advisory Committee (WU SAAC), a group of approximately 45 students representing all of the sports offered at Widener, decided to meet that goal by selling Widener Pride magnets from December 2011 to January 2012 with all proceeds going to Make-A-Wish. When the totals were in, not only did they meet the goal of $500, they exceeded it by 800% raising a grand total of $4,480!
