About:
Brooklyn, N.Y. – The Adelphi University women’s soccer team donated their time to a community service opportunity at the Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, New York.
The squad teamed up with The Lady of Grace Soccer Program in Howard Beach in coordination with the New York Cosmos, the St. Francis College men’s soccer program and New York Families for Autistic Children (NYFAC) to provide a day of soccer fun and training for the area’s autistic children.
