ABOUT THIS PROJECT

My project was to create a canned food drive within my athletic community to supply resources for local food pantries amidst the government shutdown. We were able to collect dry goods that went to families during the holiday season, easing some of the burden that these families face in the winter months. Going forward, I would also be organizing a book drive for the local elementary and middle schools, as well.

AYDEN'S WHY

My why for participating in the Engaged Athlete fellowship is to make an impact. It’s always been passion of mine to be there in meaningful ways for others, particularly the marginalized and less fortunate. Through this program, I’ve had the chance to connect with so many people who do just that, making this fellowship an engaging and enlightening experience for me.
