Lipscomb’s sports teams have hosted Halloween events for the community in past years. But this year, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee asked baseball head coach Jeff Forehand about his team tagging along for an event.
Baseball will have an intrasquad scrimmage dressed in Halloween costumes, while student athletes will be putting on carnival games.
The carnival is Thursday, Oct. 29 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. with the women’s basketball exhibition game following. Entrance to the carnival is free.
President of SAAC, Kayla Ostrom said that the committee is reaching out to children around the community.
“It’s hard to tell at this point how many kids will show up, [but] either way there will be tons of candy to go around,” Ostrom said.
Student athletes are encouraged to dress up in themed costumes and the winner will be determined by crowd voting during halftime at the women’s basketball game.
SAAC will also start its canned food drive for Second Harvest, which is part of a competition between other Atlantic Sun schools. This competition will continue on until December.
