NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Members of the Southern Connecticut State University gymnastics team were involved with an array of different community service ventures this past weekend while at home for summer break. Among the events that the Owls assisted with included individual gymnastics instruction, clothing donations and academic instruction for youngsters at Sunday school.

These events are 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 2012-13 academic year.
