Administrators, coaches and athletes joined forces to assemble over 15,000 dry-packaged meals for those in need worldwide.
This month, for the second year in a row, the Redhawks partnered with RISE Against Hunger for their Redhawks Reach Out program. This year, it was "pretty light packing" with over 15,000 meals filled for people all around the world. By the end of the day, 1,000 more meals were packed than in 2022!
Last year the Redhawks were recognized for their service to others by earning third place for the NCAA DII Award of Excellence. The Redhawks have been recognized twice in the last three years for the DII Award of Excellence, which includes a first place award in 2021 for their fundraising for Golisano Children's Hospital.
The volunteers worked hard and demonstrated teamwork at its best as they worked in an assembly line to package the meals. With everyone "pitching in", together they made a difference for others. To acknowledge their work along the way, a volunteer would ring the gong when 1,000 meals were packed -- the gong rang 15 times in celebration of their teamwork!
