Springtime Community Service

As collegiate student-athletes at UIndy, we believe that our four years as Greyhounds aren’t just about practices, lifting, fitness, and games. Giving back to the surrounding community by volunteering is something we all share a passion for. This past Friday, our team took time out of our busy spring schedule to volunteer at the Riley Children’s Hospital. We danced and laughed with the kids and their siblings, and our coaches got involved too! If you know anything about our team, you wouldn’t be surprised to know we jumped right into the dances without any hesitation. Coach Reese eagerly volunteered herself into numerous dance- offs in which the kids proved to be tough competition. It was such an amazing feeling to see how we were able to put smiles on so many young faces, but what they might not have known was that they did the same thing for each of us. This was definitely a rewarding experience for all of those involved.
