We are incredibly grateful to the for awarding us a $580 Community Grant! 🙌

Because of this generous support, we will purchase a Meta Quest 3 Virtual Reality device that will allow our student-athletes to take immersive college tours through Campus360, including SUNY and New York State private colleges.

This technology removes barriers to college exploration and gives our students greater access to the information they need to find the right fit for their futures.

Together, we are empowering student-athletes to achieve their dreams and build brighter futures. 💙🎓
