Graff has recorded more than 41 hours of Goodwill Gators hours since the fall of 2013. Some of her activities includes the 2013 and 2014 “Climb for Cancer”, where student-athletes spend a morning playing games with children who have cancer. Graff joined the Gator soccer team when they visited the Girls' Place last spring and then hosted the Girls Place for a soccer clinic this summer. She helped when the program sorted food for Gainesville's Food 4 Kids backpack program. Graff has also made several visits to the Shands Infusion Room and the Shands Pediatric area to visit with patients. She also volunteered with Project Makeover, a UF student enterprise whose mission is to create a more dynamic learning environment for local school students.
Florida, a No. 2 regional seed, plays host to Mercer on Sunday, Nov. 16 for NCAA First Round play. Match time is set for 2 p.m. ET at the Donald R. Dizney Stadium.
Tickets are $7 for adults and $3 for children (12 and under), senior citizen and students. The first 200 UF students showing a Gator1 identification are admitted free.
