A Day For Saint Leo Event Set For Brew Bus On Oct. 29

TAMPA, FL -- Saint Leo University will celebrate A Day for Saint Leo on Monday, Oct. 29, with a special focus on Tampa-area alumni and friends.

In its fifth year, A Day for Saint Leo begins homecoming week and is a day of fundraising to ensure future students have the opportunity to study at Saint Leo University—either at the main campus in Pasco County, at the Tampa Education Center in Channelside, at MacDill Air Force Base, or online.

From 5 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 29, alumni and friends are invited to Brew Bus Brewing, 4101 N. Florida Ave., Tampa, 33603. Guests will enjoy complimentary food, take advantage of drink specials, network with alumni, meet old and new friends, and give back to their alma mater. Saint Leo is conducting a Happy Hour Challenge and officials hope to receive 150 donations during that time.

Registration is required. Guests may register at https://your.saintleo.edu/brewbus.

The Saint Leo University of today is a private, nonprofit institution that creates hospitable learning communities wherever students want to be or need to be, whether that is a campus classroom, a web-based environment, an employer’s worksite, a military base, or an office park. Saint Leo welcomes people of all faiths and of no religious affiliation, and encourages learners of all generations. The university is committed to providing educational opportunities to the nation’s armed forces, veterans, and their families.
