STRATFORD, Conn. - Student-athletes and coaches from both the Southern Connecticut State University men's and women's cross country and track and field programs assisted at the first annual Vicki Soto 5K Fun Run/Walk this past weekend.

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.
