BULLDOG VOLLEYBALL VISITS HASBRO CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Bryant University volleyball team kicked off their 2009 season with a community service visit to Hasbro Children's Hospital, where the Bulldogs visited with sick and injured children and their families.

The team split into two groups and visited different areas of the hospital, including the emergency room, the cancer ward and the children's clinic, in an effort to cheer up the young patients.

The players spent the day dancing, singing, playing and reading to the kids, bringing spirit and fun to children and their families to help them through these tough times.

It was a great experience for not just the children, but for the student-athletes as well, who were thankful for their health and for the opportunity to aid others who are less fortunate than themselves.

The Bulldog volleyball program has been known for their community service efforts throughout Rhode Island and will continue to contribute to the community throughout the 2009-10 academic year.
