Last year Grinnell Football raised $324 for the Susan G Komen Fund to support breast cancer research. In 2011, the Pioneers continue to be in the giving spirit.
We recently donated $275 to deliver youth sports equipment, primarily soccer balls and volleyballs, to a high school in Sabce, Burkina Faso. We are providing support for the work started by former Grinnell citizen Wendy Munyon, who has joined the Peace Corps and is teaching in Sabce. Right now the group of Grinnell College students and faculty, led by Judy Hunter, are the only source of athletic equipment for the schools in Sabce.
If anyone would like to help us support these great people and causes, please don't hesitate to contact Head Coach, Jeff Pedersen at pedersej@grinnell.edu.
