NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Members of the Southern Connecticut State University gymnastics team created decorations for St. Patrick's Day that will be distributed to residents and hung up at a Senior Center for the upcoming holiday.

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 volunteered more than 3,000 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2011-12 academic year.
