Fulton Junior High’s modified boys basketball teams recently collaborated on a community service project to benefit the local chapter of Catholic Charities.
After the holidays, groups like Catholic Charities typically see a sharp decline in the donations that allow them to assist the local community. Anticipating this, the members of the two teams worked with their families throughout December to collect and donate socks, gloves, soaps, toothpaste, shampoos, and other toiletries to benefit the mission. The items were donated to Catholic Charities Building and Safety Manager Ken Dennison this January.
“We are so proud of our students athletes that participated,” said Sean Broderick, one of the basketball coaches involved in the program. “This is a meaningful way to give back to our community and to support Catholic Charities in their amazing work throughout our county.” Coaches Bailey Gauthier and Erik Russell also participated alongside the teams’ combined 32 players.
Broderick explained that the culture of the Fulton basketball program prioritizes community service.
“We enjoy giving back to the community that has been so supportive of us.”
