Larrick's recorded more than 17 Goodwill Gator hours since the fall of 2011. Her activities include visits to local elementary schools and she's acted as a counselor at the 2011 and 2012 “Climb for Cancer” events, a day where children with cancer participate in games with Gator student-athletes. Larrick joined her teammates in playing soccer with the children.
Larrick also has volunteered at Gainesville's Humane Society, helped in Thanksgiving food basket preparations and played games with the students at Foster Elementary School's intramural last spring. Each holiday season, Gator student-athletes buy shoes for area children who need them. Larrick joined other student-athletes in gift-wrapping the more than 400 pairs of shoes distributed in December of 2011.
