Rising Stars student athletes flexed their giving muscles at Rising Stars’ Hearts & Hoops event on December 14, 2015, reports Paul Savramis.
December is a busy month for most, says Savramis. But that didn’t stop more than 100 of Rising Stars’ student athletes and their families from taking the time to give back this holiday season. On December 14, 2015 Rising Stars hosted Hearts & Hoops, a one night event that benefited five different organizations.
According to Rising Stars founder Paul Savramis, the night was filled with laughter, tears, and hope for the New Year as students decorated cards for homebound seniors, wrapped gifts for underprivileged kids, and learned
about the soldiers who’d be spending this Christmas away from their loved ones. Hearts & Hoops volunteers decorated cookies for families with children receiving medical care at the Ronald McDonald House and dropped off over 100 coats for men, women, and children for NY CARES.
