Georgia Southern Athletics Honored For Community Service Work

NEW ORLEANS – Georgia Southern was announced Tuesday as the winners of the Sun Belt Conference's Monthly Community Service Award for the month of April.

Impressively, the Eagle baseball team raised $11,618 for the Vs. Cancer Foundation - a non-profit organization dedicated to fund lifesaving childhood cancer efforts. Student-athletes from the baseball team shaved their heads to support the cause and far exceeded their goal of $8,000. Half of the proceeds will go toward national childhood cancer research, while the remaining half will be donated to a local children's hospital.

Eagle student-athletes also recently raised $1,222.
