NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Members of the Southern Connecticut State University men's basketball, softball and women's lacrosse teams took part in an event with youngsters from the Clarence Rogers and the Katherine Brennan Schools at Pelz Gym on Friday. Students and teachers from both local schools participated in a fund-raising walk from their schools to Pelz Gym. Upon their arrival on campus, the students were treated to a series of athletic-related activities in which the Owls' student-athletes shared their expertise.

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.
