Ninety U OF E Student-Athletes Take Part In Reading Day
 In a full effort from the University of Evansville athletic programs, the Purple Aces spread holiday cheer around Evansville last week.
“Our student-athletes have a long annual tradition of partnering with Toys for Tots. Shopping for toys for the Evansville youth is one of our favorite initiatives each year. This year approximately $1,000 worth of toys was purchased by the s/a’s,†UE Senior Associate AD for Internal Operations Sarah Solinsky said.
“The tremendous response from our student-athletes to take a break from studying for their final exams to spread some holiday cheer with Evansville youth says a lot about the quality young men and women representing UE athletics.â€
Ninety student-athletes from 14 UE sports volunteered to take part in 2018 Holiday Reading Day. Student-athletes visited and read books to over 400 students ranging from preschool to 3rd grade.
The crew visited Lodge Community School, St. Benedict Cathedral School and Hebron Elementary School.
Toys were also purchased by the student-athletes as part of a continuing partnership with Toys for Tots.
