SEC Community Service Team Announced
Wednesday, May 12, 2021 | Softball
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference announced the 2021 SEC Community Service Team Wednesday morning. The entire Florida softball program was recognized for their efforts during the 2020-21 academic year.
"I'm really proud of our entire team for stepping up and being active in the community and in our student-athlete leadership organizations." Head Coach Tim Walton said. "Despite the obstacles presented by COVID-19, all of our players made it a priority to find a way to make an impact on and off the field this year."
Finding the time to serve the community as a student-athlete could be considered a challenge, especially during a global pandemic. Despite the obstacles, the entire Florida softball team found a way to be active. With the 2020 season cut short and social issues at the forefront, team members focused their time and energy to help spread awareness and enact change.
Through their social media channels, participating in peaceful Black Lives Matter marches and the use of physical symbols when they take the field such as "BLM" ribbons and helmet stickers. Team members hope that their efforts reach people that might be unaware of issues still affecting society today.
The team also focused on continuing to bring awareness to pediatric cancer with the annual "Yellow Game" and "Sunflower Saturdays", along with organizing, wrapping, packing and sending Christmas presents to 34 children within Friends of Jaclyn organization. Also, this year, the Gators and every SEC program participated in the "All for Alex" campaign bringing awareness to ovarian cancer.
In addition, several members of the team have also been able to make an impact through service by being active in leadership organizations such as the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, the Black Student-Athlete Council and the PRIDE group.
Finally, with the program celebrating 25 years of Florida softball, team members have made an effort to reconnect with every Florida softball letter winner in program history via sending personal letters.
