About:
Rising Stars student-athletes are not your average teammates. Instead of having a party, Rising Stars families chose to work with the amazing organization, “One Sandwich at a Time” each year to celebrate the holiday season by making 800 sandwiches for the homeless and under-fed population in New York. Instead of munching on snacks and eating candy canes, they considered how it might feel to be hungry and have to wait to eat. Elementary through high school aged kids and their parents stood side-by side, working together to make sandwiches, individually wrap them, and include notes of inspiration and love for the homeless. If that’s not the definition of TEAMWORK, I don’t know what is.
