You need a Savannah Banana this Summer. They are Free!

You need a Savannah Banana this Summer. They are Free and how do you get a free Savannah Banana? Be a a host family. By hosting a Savannah Bananas player is a great opportunity for you and your family this summer! 

These college athletes will arrive the last week of May and return home the first or second week of August. They also make a great role model for your children. While pursuing their dreams, they also understand the importance of education as they are students and athletes of national universities. For these young men, it helps to have some sense of normalcy while being far from home. To host a "summer son" or Banana they only ask for families to provide a bedroom, access to a bathroom and access to laundry.
Players will have their own cars to drive to and from the stadium. If they do not, we will make arrangements for players to live close so that they can ride together. We also provide meals for the players. Of course leaving snacks and including the player in some home meals while they are there is much appreciated, it is not required. Families will receive two General Admission Membership tickets, which include all you can eat, to cheer on your Banana!
