golf tournament. I volunteered as a traffic

Meet The Blazers
• As a football team we invited kids from our
community to come an have a good time and
play around with us. We took time out of our
schedules to make hundreds of little kids day
better.
Blazer Build
• We helped build houses for habitat for
humanity. It was a liberating experience to
give back to the community and help
someone in need.
My Experiences from the South
Georgia Classic
• I helped people find the correct places to
park. I also held a few conversations with
people about what they do so I had the
chance to network with a few people.
My Experiences from Meet the Blazers
• It was a great expericence to spend time with
the little kids. I felt like I gave them a good
example and provided a positive role model of
what hard work can get you. Plus it was just
fun to be goofy and play around with them.
My Experiences from Blazer Build
• It felt good to give back to the community by
helping build homes for people who had no
home.
