Fordham Water Polo Reaches Out During the Holidays
Bronx, N.Y. - With the hustling of
the holidays and studying for exams, the Fordham Water Polo team
took on some extra work this December, partaking in the Reach Out
& Read Program at the Union Community Health Center's Pediatric
Primary Care Center of St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx.
"This volunteer work is in line with the Jesuit philosophy of men
and women for others," said Head Coach Bill Harris. "The team
enjoys reading to the children at the clinic, and it is an
important part of being a student-athlete to perform service to the
community."
During the month, two student-athletes at a time go to the
Pediatric Center of the Hospital, and sit and read to children in
the waiting room for shifts of two hours.
The water polo team continues a long standing tradition of Fordham
student-athletes giving their time to the Health Center and the
Reach Out & Read Program.
