The Student Veterans Organization (SVO) raised more than $10,000 through the Falcon Funded campaign to purchase a 50' x 90' American flag. The primary purpose of the flag will be to honor the military community and it will stand as recognition for those who have a dedication to duty and a selfless commitment to something greater than themselves.
"The Student Veterans Organization believes that the American flag is the symbol of our freedom, national pride and history," the SVO said in a statement. "We are grateful to those who supported us in the campaign to raise enough money to purchase our full court flag. Their generosity is a testament to the dedication our past military population has in supporting our current military-connected students."
Due to the size of the flag, BGSU Athletics and the SVO will have the ability to use the flag at other venues in an ongoing partnership between the two organizations to support and honor those who serve our country.
The SVO at BGSU has been a recognized student organization since 2011 and has been affiliated with the Student Veterans of America since 2013. Along with the SVO and BGSU Athletics, the Nontraditional and Military Student Services office was instrumental in providing guidance for the campaign.
Saturday's game, which also serves as Senior Day and the annual Freddie and Frieda mascot unveiling, will be the final home game for the 2018-19 BGSU women's basketball season.
Fans not in attendance can watch just the broadcast of the flag unveiling and the national anthem by CLICKING HERE. The game itself will be broadcast live on ESPN3, but will not be available at the prior link.
