NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Members of the Southern Connecticut State University softball team assisted at the Loaves and Fishes pantry in New Haven over the weekend. The Owls helped out with food distribution, assisted with arts and crafts for youngsters and manicured the grounds around the facility.

This event is just one example of many community outreach events that SCSU student-athletes will take part in during the 2013-14 academic year 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 more than 3,000 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2012-13 academic year.
