See the full list of student organizations on JagLife.

Members of student organizations are encouraged to participate in Stuff the Stadium, a donation drive occurring at the men’s basketball game at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 19 at Christenberry Fieldhouse.

At the event, Augusta University students, faculty, staff and community members are asked to bring new stuffed animals to the game, all of which will be tossed on the court after the Jags score their first point. All stuffed animals collected will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Augusta and other local nonprofits.

Student organizations will compete to donate the most stuffed animals at the drive, but must register for the competition in advance by emailing Roberto Aragon, coordinator for student involvement. Students who donate as part of an organization must arrive by 7 p.m. so donations can be tallied.
