On Sept. 18, the student-athletes of the 2012 NSU softball team were among 300 volunteers that participated in the NSU “A Day for Children” event. The event was centered around providing a fun environment for the children of the Fort Lauderdale area and the softball team helped keep everyone cool by distributing water and refilling ice buckets. The team also helped hand out pizza and even participated in some pick up soccer with the kids.
On Oct. 1, the softball team participated in the Bike Wash at Rick Case Honda Powerhouse. The event raised money for “Ride for Kids,” a fund for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and the American Cancer Society’s breast cancer research fund.
