IUP Softball Team Participates in Community Services Projects in October 

The IUP softball team continued their community service efforts with two events in October.  On October 4 the team served as volunteers for the Cancer Walk held at Miller Stadium and on October 30 they helped plant trees at the Indiana Little League Fields.

The Cancer Walk was run by the IUP Center for Student Life.  This was part of their Health AWAREness campaign.  The event was held at Miller Stadium on IUP’s campus.  Members of the team worked the registration table, handed out t-shirts to walkers as they signed in and collected pledges.  Other players contributed by working information tables sharing literature on cancer detection and support services while others helped by dispersing giveaways to support the American Cancer Society.

On October 30 the softball team joined the Indiana Optimists Club in planting trees at the Indiana Little League Complex.  The tree planting was one of several updates that have been done to the fields to promote Indiana Little League Baseball and Softball.  The girls assisted members of the Optimists and other community members in digging holes and landscaping over a dozen trees.
