Wrap-up of past events

Bailey’s Garden

Members of the Men’s Baseball team volunteered to help build the first stage of playground being built in Lebanon, CT

The playground is being built I honor of a little girl named Bailey who passed away at seven years old from Trisomy 18, or “Edward’s Syndrome.”

Big Brother & Sister “Tour of UConn”

Was very successful, student-athletes were matched with kids and their mentors and played football, kickball, basketball, and tie-dyed t-shirts.

There were student-athlete volunteers from the softball, baseball, rowing, lacrosse, football, men’s and women’s track and field and men’s ice hockey
