Warriors Give Back is a community outreach initiative which allows every Warrior Athletics team, student-athlete, coach and staff member to give back to the campus and our local community. These community service outreach projects include team events that fundraises or creates awareness for a number of different charities. This outreach also include free clinics, food drives, helping needy families during the holiday seasons and reaching out to the youths in our community.

The
Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) also participates in many community outreach projects with its main support going to the Make A Wish Foundation. Please see the
SAAC webpage for more information.
