The RTD has a great profile up on some of the UR women’s basketball players (and coaches) who take an hour each week and spend it with the second and third grade classes of Ginter Park Elementary.
Thirteen players and their team manager, Robert Drewry, have been mentors this school year to secondand third-graders through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Richmond.
The community-service project was the idea of the team’s assistant coach, Ebony Moore, who said she wanted to help the players “realize they’ve been blessed and that they’re role models.”
They spend one hour a week “giving back to someone else,” she said. In return, the experience “gets them out of their own minds.”
“They’ve gained so much from this,” she said.
UR continues to be involved in various aspects of Northside life. You can read the previous stories here.
