LOUDONVILLE, NY – For the second straight year, the Siena Men's and Women's Basketball teams are proud to host a court rehab dedication and ice cream social for the local community. The free event – which welcomes all fans – will be held on Monday, July 31^st from 5:30-7 p.m. at Cheryl's Lodge, a program of CAPTAIN Community Human Services, located at 25 Fern Lane in nearby Clifton Park, New York.
 
Fans will have their first opportunity to meet, mingle, and even shoot around with their 2023-24 Siena Men's and Women's Basketball teams on the newly refurbished court, and get to hear from both head coaches Carmen Maciariello and Jim Jabir about the upcoming season. Each fan will also receive one ticket upon arrival which can be redeemed for one free ice cream from the vendor on site.
 
While the court rehab dedication and ice cream social is open to all and free of charge, fans who plan to attend are kindly asked to RSVP at sienasaints.com/rsvp by Friday, July 28^th to help provide an accurate count.
 
Programming will also include remarks from event sponsor Fenimore Asset Management, and CAPTAIN Executive Director Andy Gilpin who will formally dedicate the court in honor of Dr. Bill Long for all that he has done to help the organization.
 
The mission and vision of CAPTAIN Community Human Services supports and empowers people of all ages to reach their goals of personal growth and self-sufficiency, while also strengthening communities. Cheryl's Lodge is a program of CAPTAIN, which is a Community Outreach Center offering programming for children, families, and seniors.
 
Siena Athletics and its basketball programs are grateful to community partner Fenimore Asset Management with the execution of this worthy project. Fenimore Asset Management has been providing differentiated investment management solutions to local clients in Albany, Schenectady, Saratoga Springs, and Latham, NY for nearly five decades.  
 
"The work done to update this deserving basketball court at Cheryl's Lodge is a great example of the good that comes when we unite to invest in our community," said Fenimore Asset Management President Christian Snyder, J.D., CFA. "At Fenimore, we pride ourselves on being a good neighbor, and are honored and humbled to a part of something so special."
 
This marks the second straight year that the Siena Basketball programs have teamed together with a local partner to rehabilitate and refurbish a local court benefitting a Capital Region community. Last summer, the Saints helped refurbish and dedicate the Lansing Park basketball court in nearby Cohoes. The court rehab project helps fulfill Siena Athletics' pledge to "Build Better Saints," while embracing the College's Franciscan values by giving back to the local community.
