Athletes Aid Special Needs Community
The merits of the Panthers basketball players extend beyond the court; both men's and women's team have been performing acts of altruism benefiting children with developmental disabilities.
Members of the women's basketball team volunteered at the 10th Annual Long Island Walk Now for Autism Speaks on Sunday, October 4, 2009 at Jones Beach State Park. The women painted faces and applied temporary tattoos for children participating in the walk.
On Friday, October 9, 2009, Adelphi's men's basketball team also contributed to the special needs community by hosting a clinic in the Center for Recreation and Sport for the Special Needs Unit of the Nassau Police Activity League.
