Kohawks in the Community!!

We are introducing a new feature on the blog – Kohawks in the Community.  Many of our tennis players, current and past, devote time to philanthropic activities.  As such, I’d like to recognize them for their efforts, and spirited/giving nature.  Each act will be noted in a blog post; you can also access past philanthropic efforts via the feature (Kohawks in the Community) accessible in the right hand column.

Dating back to the Spring, I would like to recognize the players and causes listed below.

Chris Paasch (’06), and his brother Cory, visited their high school to sponsor/present an anti-bullying campaign through the Midwest Center for School Safety.

Tai Lucero (’14) ran with Holland Van Metre in a Girls on the Run event.  

Coach Kris spent a half day putting up trellises on a Habitat for Humanity house with a team of faculty and staff from Coe College.

The Crew!

I am confident that many more of our players served the community this past Spring.  Unfortunately, I am not always made aware of these efforts.  Suppose this is understandable since the spirit of giving, rather than recognition, is at the heart of philanthropy.  Nonetheless, volunteerism is a staple/tenant of Kohawk Tennis and I would like to see that principle both recognized, and grow/flourish!

Stay tuned for TEAM efforts in the months to come as well!  A date will soon be established for the 2^nd Annual Fitness, Fun & Philanthropy.  Kohawk Tough, an on campus physical test of participating faculty, staff and students, may be released this Fall also.  The event would benefit a team chosen organization.
