Our Cause

Our cause for the 2010/11 school year was to send a team of student-athletes on a service trip to Ecuador in July to build schools, assist with healthcare, and teach sports skills. Our goal was to help lift Ecuadorian villages out of extreme poverty through education.

18 dedicated leaders from across the country went to Ecuador as a group of people and left as a family who had made a big difference. We were able to lay the foundation of a school we funded, work with a girl's club on leadership activities, paint a mural in an existing classroom, and fund for many other projects in the community of Chismaute. The trip was a huge success! 

Our cause for 2011/2012 is being planned right now.  We will be doing a national cause in Chicago, Illinois and an international cause again as well. Both will take place next summer.
