NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Southern Connecticut State University women's basketball team recently created and donated items for Cards for Hospitalized Kids, a group whose mission is to "spread hope, joy and magic to hospitalized kids across America throughout uplifting, handmade cards." 

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.
