Student-Athletes Donate 3,230 Hours
to Greater Palouse Community
WSU Athletics and its student-athletes have embraced a growing list of
community service opportunities. During the 2012-13 academic year,
3,230 hours were donated by Washington State student-athletes. These
initiatives included:
The Reading Buddies Program pairs
Sunnyside Elementary School students
with WSU student-athletes. The elementary student and his or her “buddy”
read together, practice reading and
writing skills, and have educational fun
together. Twenty-nine student-athletes
volunteered as a Reading Buddy each
semester.
The Coug Pals Program is a writing
partnership between Pullman elementary students and WSU studentathletes where they exchange biweekly letters. It provides elementary
students a chance to practice writing
skills and gives student-athletes an
opportunity to be role models and
practice leadership skills. This spring,
120 student-athletes participated as
Coug Pals. During finals week, Coug
Pals had the opportunity to meet faceto-face.
This winter, WSU Athletics hosted the inaugural Special Olympics
Regional Basketball Tournament.
Over 500 Special Olympic athletes
arrived on our Pullman campus to
participate in this one-day tournament. One hundred and three
student-athletes took part in the
tournament serving in all capacities
from cheer coaches to scorekeepers to whistle-blowing, hug-giving
officials.
During Butch’s Bash, our annual holiday indoor carnival held for
Palouse-area children, 210 student-athletes volunteered to man carnival
booths, decorate gingerbread houses, and supervise activities. In conjunction with the carnival, student-athletes sponsored a canned
food drive benefitting the Palouse Cares initiative. Over 700 pounds of food was collected.
In March, 13 student-athletes partnered
with members of the Pullman Senior Citizen
Center to duke it out in a Wii Bowling Tournament. Student-athletes had so much fun, that
they proposed an expanded relationship with
the senior center in 2013-14.
