Community Spirit Shines: Local Athletes Give Back this Holiday Season

One of the main goals of athletic programs is to develop players, not only in the sport but as well-rounded young adults. While team bonding service activities occur at all points of the year, the holiday season is the most high-profile time for giving back. Over the past month, we’ve attempted to collect as many social media moments capturing these acts of kindness as our local student-athletes have carried out as possible. We commend the coaches and athletes for giving up their time in the service of others. While we are sure there are many more we did not see, we want to share these with you this Christmas Day.

If you know other examples, please get in touch with us on our social media or via email.
