PORTLAND — One day after returning stateside from an O Heroes service trip to Panama, John Nizich would have been forgiven for wanting to spend Monday recharging his batteries.
Instead, Nizich joined several other UO student-athletes from the greater Portland area visiting with vulnerable members of the community.
“’Tis the season,” Nizich said. “It’s Christmas time; that’s what you do. It’s about family, and service to others who don’t have that family. It’s pretty special to light up their day around the holidays.”
Seven student-athletes spent a couple of hours Monday afternoon visiting and dropping off gifts to impoverished adults who receive support through the Macdonald Center.
