BOCA RATON, FL - The Florida Atlantic National Alumni Association will host a day of events coinciding with the Owls trip to the Motor City Bowl on December 26.

The FAUNAA will have a team sendoff in the lobby of the Detroit Reniassance Center Marriott, the official Owls' team hotel at 4:30 on the day of the game to wish the team luck as they head to Ford Field to take on the Central Michigan Chippewas.

The FAUNAA's official pre-game party will be held in Volt Restaurant, located in the Marriott lobby from 5 to 7 p.m. before the game kicks off. After the game, fans are encouraged to return to Volt for the post-game party, scheduled to start at 10:30. Both the pre-game and post-game part will feature $1 off draft beer and drink specials.
