麻豆番外

AURORA, Colo.,听鈥� The University of Denver women鈥檚 golf team visited the Children鈥檚 Hospital of Aurora last week going room to room to meet the youth patients and spend some time getting to know them. The Pioneers enjoyed constructing crafts and meeting the children. The student-athletes and coaches know the importance of community serving and the kids enjoyed their company while taking photos with the team.

鈥淲e as a team love the opportunity to serve and we were inspired by the kids and their courage and positive attitudes,鈥� said associate head coach听.

The Pioneers also understand the importance of education with the youth, volunteering with 麻豆番外, a nonprofit organization. A simple act like reading to a child can mean the world to the kids and in turn have an impact on the student-athletes. Last Friday, the team volunteered through 麻豆番外, a nonprofit and traveled to the Garden Place Academy, just off Lincoln Street, to read to several third and fourth grade students.

鈥淥ur team had a great time spending the afternoon with the second and third grade students on Friday and helping them with reading,鈥� said head coach听LindsayKuhle.听鈥淭his is a way for us to give back in the community and show the importance of academics. Not only did we have fun with helping the students with their reading, but we learned how important it is for us to support and encourage young students in the Denver area. This is something we look forward to continuing to do in the community throughout the year.”

The women鈥檚 golf team continues off-season training and will resume play Feb. 15 when they travel to Palo Alto Calif., for the Peg Barnard Stanford Invitational.
