NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Southern Connecticut State University softball team took time out on Sunday afternoon to walk at the American Cancer Society 'Making Strides Against Breast Cancer' event held at Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven. In all, nearly 80 student-athletes from SCSU took part in either pre-event setup or the event walk.

This event is just one example of many community outreach events that SCSU student-athletes will take part in as part of the Tim Greer Insurance Agency Community Service Cup.

Initiated in September, 2008, the 'Community Service Cup' program provides a competitive format that allows student-athletes to gain an enriched experience through engagement with the on-campus and local communities by supporting ventures of traditional citizens, campus community members and peer students and student-athletes. SCSU student-athletes volunteered nearly 2,000 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2008-09 academic year.
