MAGNOLIA, Ark. –The Alumni Association of Southern Arkansas University will sponsor a chartered bus trip to St. Louis, Missouri, Nov. 23-25, to watch SAU Alum Jordan Babineaux and the Seattle Seahawks play the St. Louis Rams on November 25.
Babineaux was recently honored as the Young Alumni award recipient at the 2007 Distinguished Alumni Dinner held Oct. 19 as a part of SAU’s Homecoming activities. He graduated from SAU in 2004 with a Bachelor’s degree in mass communications and won a place on the Seattle Seahawks roster that same year. Due to football obligations, he was unable to attend the dinner to receive his award.
The Alumni Association is sponsoring this trip as a way to give interested persons the opportunity not only to watch Babineaux play, but also to meet with him personally and present him the award for Young Alumni 2007. Participants will also receive an autographed jersey.
A $125 deposit to cover bus fare and ticket to the game is required. The group will be staying at the Holiday Inn Select in downtown St. Louis located across the street from the Edward Jones Dome. The cost per night is $104. Reservations can be made by calling 1-800-HOLIDAY.
The group will leave by charted bus at 10 a.m. on Nov. 23 from the Welcome Center parking lot and return after the game on Nov. 25.
Those interested in going are asked to RSVP with Director of SAU Alumni Relations Ceil Bridges at 870-235-4092 or 870-235-4079.
