In the span of six months, Fighting Scots student-athletes donated nearly 1,000 man hours throughout the Warren County area. Whether as individuals, or as a team, in the past year the Fighting Scots made a difference at their home-away-from-home.
The Scots’ largest team – football – generated the most man hours for a single event. The team’s annual Cleanup Day in mid-April accounted for more than 300 man hours of service, fanning out to nearly 20 different locations one Saturday morning.
Monmouth’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) had representation from nearly all 22 varsity sports, sponsoring a Special Olympics practice for special needs residents in the county. Approximately 60 student-athletes combined to provide instruction in a variety of sports at the annual SAAC event, accounting for more than 120 man hours.
Other volunteer activities ranged from a reading program at the local schools to soliciting canned goods donations and the Polar Plunge for Special Olympics.
Plans are already under way for even more projects next year, and with the addition of lacrosse in the 2016-17 academic year, expect the Scots to donate more than ever.
