AURORA, Ill. - Incoming freshman Tiffany Elliott (Clarendon, Ill.) of the Southern Connecticut State University gymnastics team recently volunteered her time to help prepare meals for the Feed My Starving Children organization. Through the volunteer efforts of children and adults, the organization hand packs meals specifically formulated for malnourished children and ships the meals to nearly 70 countries around the world.
This event 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 4,000 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2013-14 academic year.
