NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Members of the Southern Connecticut State University football, men's swimming and diving and women's swimming and diving programs assisted at the March of Dimes 'March for Babies' Walk at Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven on Sunday. The March for Babies is dedicated to improving the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.
This program 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 have volunteered more than 2,500 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2009-10 academic year.
