Hoops for Heroes is an initiative created jointly by the OVC and SAAC’s at member institutions in order to honor military men and women in OVC communities.

During the course of the academic year, SAAC members at each institution raise money through various ways to sponsor sending at least one service man or woman, along with his/her family, to the OVC Basketball Championships in Nashville, TN.

Each school’s SAAC chooses its veteran in its own way but every honoree will be recognized prior to the tournament, either during a home basketball game or other campus-related event.

All honorees will receive a two-night hotel stay in Nashville, up to four tickets to Friday and Saturday’s tournament sessions along with gas and meal gift cards.

Before tip-off of Friday night’s OVC men’s tournament semifinal game and again before the men and women’s championship games, Saturday, several military service men and women are brought to center court and honored for their service.

For more information or to reserve tickets for Wednesday’s dinner, telephone 931.221.7903.
