Sunday, April 10, was Joey’s Day in Rolla when the S&T athletics department helped Make-A-Wish Missouri grant an 8-year-old cancer patient’s wish to go to Disney World.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is the official charity of NCAA Division II and its national Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Student-athletes from all 16 institutions in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, which includes Missouri S&T, take part in fundraising efforts for that organization. Last year, Missouri S&T raised the most money of any team in the conference for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
