COLUMBIA, S.C. – Home Works of South Carolina held their fall One-Day Blitz repairing homes around the greater Columbia area on Saturday, and one home was given a major face lift by the Men’s and Women’s Track Team of USC. The team put a new roof on the home of one of Columbia’s most deserving. These student-athletes contributed more than 100 hours of hours of service during this one day event.

Every year, student-athletes from different athletic teams coordinate team projects by taking responsibility to serve as goodwill ambassadors not only for their respective programs, but also for the Athletics Department and the University of South Carolina as a whole. In addition, a number of student-athletes elect to perform individual community service hours in a variety of areas. The University of South Carolina Athletics Department is committed to providing volunteer opportunities for student-athletes to connect with people in the surrounding community. The greater Columbia community is invited to utilize members of Team Gamecocks to serve as role models and willing volunteers.
