The Cal State San Marcos Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) has chosen the American Red Cross as the recipient of the CCAA Cares fund from the upcoming CCAA Men's & Women's Basketball Tournament.

The CCAA provides 10 percent of the net ticket revenue to the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) program at each CCAA institution hosting a conference tournament or championship for them to donate to their preferred non-profit. Institutions hosting a conference championship that does not charge admission (i.e., cross country, golf) will receive a $250 contribution.

Cal State San Marcos is the host of the 2025 CCAA Men's & Women's Basketball Tournament, March 6-8, at The Sports Center on campus. The American Red Cross will receive 10% of the net ticket sale proceeds from the CCAA as part of the CCAA Cares program.  Click here for more information about the American Red Cross.

Since the program's inception in 2022, CCAA Cares has provided more than $7,600 over the past two seasons. The CCAA Cares initative aims to amplify the exceptional community service contributions made by CCAA athletic departments and their respective SAAC and student-athletes. Click here for more information on CCAA Cares
