Goldey Beacom College Men's Soccer

Goldey-Beacom Soccer Teams Volunteer at Tender Hearts

Goldey-Beacom’s soccer teams on Sunday displayed the College’s latest showing of outreach and community service by lending a hand at Tender Hearts.

The event was part of Family Fitness Funday, organized by Tender Hearts. The student-athletes helped raise money to purchase custom-made bicycles for physically and developmentally impaired children. The Lightning’s soccer teams also played a big part in helping assist with arts and crafts stations, touch football, soccer, fitness competitions, food trucks and many other activities.

Goldey-Beacom over the last few years has lent a hand in community service ranging from cleanup on the Christiana River, assisting kids at local elementary school, raising money for Delaware Firefighters and helping with collections both around Thanksgiving and the December holidays, just to name a few.

The department in January 2016 was one of 25 finalists for the NCAA Division II Award of Excellence following its October 30, 2015 Halloween 5K Costume Run and Fun Walk that raised money for the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition.

Tender Hearts is a non-profit organization dedicated to medically-fragile children and their families.
