About:
Thankful Thanksgiving is an event I brought to Elmira after I graduated from Niagara University (2016). This is not an original idea of mine, but one that made a huge impact on my life as a student-athlete while at NU (originated from my athletic advisor Sabatino Giancola). This was the second year we did Thankful Thanksgiving and we were able to collect approx. 500 thanksgiving food items and deliver to multiple Elmira families and agencies that our district works with! The items are all donated by the varsity sports teams at Elmira and delivered by myself, our assistant AD (Tim Reidy), and a handful of student-athletes who are a part of SAAC. The teams are also given points for each item donated which will go toward them winning the Community Service award at the end of the year athletic banquet!
