Ivy League Athletes Giving Back

I saw this article about Princeton University athletes doing some redeeming work in their community through the Ivy Athletes Charity Team (IACT).

In short, IACT organizers work with the captains to provide an opportunity for each team to donate its time to raise money and awareness for a Summer camp at Princeton called Community House, which connects University volunteers with disadvantaged youth in the community. The summer camp serves economically disadvantaged youth, ages 10-14, in the Princeton and Trenton areas, providing them the academic and technical skills they need in order to get ahead by the time they return to school in the fall.

In the article , IACT's current president, Meagan Cowher, comments on their purpose:

"It's our goal to mobilize the varsity athletes for a positive cause," said Meagan Cowher, "and make sure we are giving back and are aware of our fortunate situation being students at a University like this one."
