USCB Women’s Soccer brings color to community learning Hilton Head Island, SC – The University of South Carolina Beaufort Women’s Soccer team came together in support of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at USCB, which is devoted to providing quality, not-for-credit, educational opportunities and experiences to the citizens of the Lowcountry. The Lady Sand Sharks shared their community service spirit by re-painting OLLI’s storefront location in the Pineland Station shopping center which provides exposure to USCB’s numerous OLLI and Community Outreach activities to people who are shopping or dining in the mall. This was a win-win for both the players and OLLI. According to team forward, Chelsie Mummert, “This was a great team building experience and it gave us a chance to reinforce our team goal of being active community members, on and off of the field. OLLI Director, Andrea Sisino, added, “ What a fine group of women student athletes. The money OLLI donated for this project will go towards their pink team jerseys that are being designed to recognize breast cancer and ultimately raise money for a local breast cancer cause.” Fresh paint won’t be the only new hue in OLLI’s storefront. Amidst the backdrop of this neutral color, local artists will be showcasing their works. Bob Ovelaman from Hilton Head will be the first to do so at an opening reception Friday, September 16th at 11:00am. The general public is invited to attend, free of charge. For more information please contact the Hilton Head OLLI office, located at 304 A Pineland Station, 843-2088239.
