Away from the courts, the Mountaineers have launched a Holiday Toy Drive for Eva Rothwell. Toy donations can be made to room R105 or the DBARC front desk. As well, the women’s basketball team is gearing up for their Holiday Drive for Mission Services, collecting non-perishable food items, hygiene products (feminine hygiene, toothpaste, shampoo, etc) and new hats, mitts and scarves for the women’s shelter. Same drop-off locations as the toy drive. And the Men’s Volleyball team is in the final push for Movember. They have set a goal of collecting $5,000 to support men’s health. The team has raised nearly $1,500 to this point. If you want to help the team support this charity, you can donate on their team page.
