WILMINGTON, Del. -- The holiday season brings upon us a flurry of shopping, reuniting with family or friends, traveling and giving back to our community. The University of Delaware men's basketball program did just that on Thursday at the Ronald McDonald House.
The team attended the House's annual Share-A-Night event to spend time with the families who are benefiting from the House's services. In addition to the “home away from home” care that the Ronald McDonald House already provides for families whose children are experiencing severe illnesses, the House puts on an annual Share-A-Night that brings the community together to celebrate illuminating the House for the holiday season.
In addition to the unveiling of the house lights, the event also featured different speeches from those whose lives have been changed by the Ronald McDonald House, caroling, and autographs, pictures and interaction for the young children from the team.
“The team is making notable contributions off the court by serving as role models to the children experiencing different diseases,” said Lauren Baker, UD Assistant Director of Athletics Marketing. “Seeing the faces of the kids light up when they are interacting with the athletes is so rewarding and fulfilling. The team's presence at the Share-A-Night event is important in building the community as a whole and strengthening the team bond through service to others.”
