Galloway, N.J. – Student-athletes from several Stockton University teams volunteered at a pair of local events while another squad raised awareness and money for the fight against breast cancer during a full weekend of community service for Stockton Athletics.
The Stockton men's lacrosse team participated in Galloway Township's annual Make a Difference Day on Saturday morning. The Ospreys helped clean up a neighborhood in the community. Also on Saturday, the Stockton women's soccer team wore pink t-shirts during warmups and collected donations for the Susan G. Komen Foundation as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Members of the Stockton men's and women's cross country, men's and women's track & field, women's lacrosse and men's basketball squads performed a variety of functions at the AmeriHealth NJ Atlantic City Marathon & Half Marathon on Sunday. The Ospreys assisted with bag check, water distribution, course marshaling and awarding medals throughout the day.
Community service has long been a priority for Stockton Athletics. Osprey teams have a strong track record of volunteerism in southern New Jersey that was enhanced over the weekend with eight teams giving back to the community.
