This year the Southwest Florida Gator Club is collaborating with Valerie's House to host "Baking with Gators." This is a great opportunity for Gator Alumni to give back to the community.

We will be baking Gator-themed orange and blue cookies with the children and teens at Valerie's House.

The University of Florida Alumni Association (UFAA) designates one Saturday each year as International Gator Day, encouraging Gator Clubs and Affiliate Groups worldwide to use their time, talents, and the spirit of Gator Nation to support community projects.

The next chapter of the UF College of Health & Human Performance starts with you!

Faculty Guest:
Dr. Scott Nestler, PhD
Professor of Practice,
Department of Sports Management
