This year’s event will take place on Tuesday, Aug. 7 ,starting at 6 p.m. at the Story Barn.
The annual event, which is sponsored by Farmers Bank & Trust, will serve as the official start to the 2018-19 athletic year at SAU and will feature a sit-down dinner that will include burgers, chips and dessert, season previews provided by fall coaches, and a meet-and-greet session with various members of the SAU athletic department and Mulerider Club Advisory Board members.
“Adding Farmers Bank & Trust as a sponsor for our annual Mulerider Club Kickoff event is a tremendous opportunity that we are excited to be a part of,” remarked SAU Director of Athletics Steve Browning. “Our community provides unwavering support for Mulerider Athletics and we are eager to begin the 2018-19 athletic year with this event serving as the kickoff.”
“Over the last several years, Mulerider Athletics continues to grow and improve each year as we strive towards our goal of a GAC All-Sports Trophy,” added Browning. “This overall upward trend would not be possible without the improvement and growth of our Mulerider Club as well. Our Mulerider Club is vital to assuring that we are able to continually provide the best possible experience for our student-athletes.”
