The Baseball team participates in “Kid’s Night Out” and conducts clinics to teach children from the community about baseball during the course of the school year. Members of the team also participated in “Shack Attack” to bring attention to the housing problems of people in the community who are in need, and they helped school children improve their reading skills through the “Phinatic about Reading” program.

The Women’s Soccer team participates in “Kid’s Night Out”, and “Phinatic about Reading.” The team is also involved with “Habitat for Humanity.” Recently the team worked with the Le Moyne chapter of the organization on “Shack Attack” where students built wooden shacks on campus to spread the message of the need to create adequate housing and healthy communities for those in need.

The Women’s Basketball team conducts clinics to teach children from the community about basketball through fun and engaging drills at the beginning of each semester. The team also volunteered its time at a soup kitchen, worked with ‘Habitat for Humanity’, packaged boxes at the War Memorial, and participated in the “Phinatic about Reading” program for children.

 

Members of the Men’s Golf team volunteer with their coach at Francis House, a facility in North Syracuse that serves terminally ill patients and their families.

Last year, the Men’s Cross Country team took part in the “Shack Attack,” where students built wooden shacks on campus to spread the message of the need to create adequate housing and healthy communities for those in need. This year the team participated in the Alzheimer's Walk and they have volunteered at Helping Hounds, an organization that rescues and cares for abandoned and neglected dogs.
