UAB in the
Community T
he Blazer men’s soccer team is just one example of the UAB Athletic Department’s commitment to helping, serving and donating to the Birmingham community. UAB takes great pride in giving back to a community that gives so much to it. UAB football has stepped up as one of the leaders in community outreach, participating in a wide variety of projects and activities throughout the year. One of the Blazers’ continuing efforts is weekly visits to the Chil-
dren’s Hospital during the spring. Every week, several players and coaches spend quality time with patients and families at the Children’s Hospital. Other community service ventures recently had included UAB’s Classroom Connection, volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House and joining with local radio station 95.7 to help clean up a Birmingham-area elementary school.
