Fairfield Stags Host Fresh Air Fund Day at Fairfield-Iona Basketball Game Sunday at Webster Bank Arena

The Fairfield men's basketball team will host Fresh Air Fund Day when the Stags face Iona College on Sunday, December 8, at 1:30 pm at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, CT. It will be the Stags' Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) home opener, and the men's basketball team will also welcome the Fresh Air Fund agency to the game. The agency has provided free experiences in the country to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities. In support of the initiative, Fairfield University will provide 12 summer scholarships for Fresh Air children for Sydney Johnson Basketball Camps for boys; promote the Fresh Air Fund during the season home games; and invite host families to Sunday's game for just $5. As part of the festivities, two dozen selected Fresh Air Fund kids will watch the players warm up and stand with them during the National Anthem In addition, the annual Teddy Bears with Love drive will be held at the game, an event that is sponsored by the Student Alumni Association and the Office of Alumni Relations. All fans that donate a new, unwrapped teddy bear will receive a free ticket to the game. The donated teddy bears will be distributed to children in area hospitals in coming weeks. Fans can use the promo code "TEDDY" at the box office window to receive a free ticket with teddy bear donation.
