On December 1, six
student-athletes and another NJCU student joined Arnold Jeter, the Gothic
Knights' Coordinator of Athletic Academic Retention and CHAMPS/Life
Skills, in a community service outreach project coordinated by the NJCU
Student-Athlete Advisory Board (SAAB). Dubbed "Three Days of Happiness for
New Jersey Hospitals and Rehabilitation Centers," the athletes dressed in
cartoon costumes and visited the Children's Specialized Hospital in
Mountainside.
In costume were Katie Feehan (women's soccer) as Minnie Mouse, Rob Sumner
(baseball) as Mickey Mouse, James Llano as Blue from Blue's Clues,
Jonathan Gomez (baseball) as Elmo, and Josue Martinez (baseball) as Dora
the Explorer.
Also participating were Carlos Suarez and Rob Motacki from the baseball
team. Suarez coordinated the event, while Motacki has been a volunteer at
the hospital for many years.
All outfits worn by the volunteers were donated for the event by Party
Perfect Rentals in Marlboro, NJ.
