NSU student-athletes recently participated in the HANDY’S “Adopt-a-Family” event, where locals from the community sponsored a family and provided a Thanksgiving basket filled with all of the necessities for a Thanksgiving dinner. This amazing event provides hundreds of disadvantaged families with the chance to have a wonderful holiday dinner.
