Penn State Behrend Baseball Participates in Habitat for Humanity Build
On
Saturday, October 18, the Behrend Lions baseball program participated in
another Habitat for Humanity build.
The baseball program provided two groups of players and coaches to continue
work on a home in Erie.
The group combined to donate a full staff covering an eight hour day working
on both the inside and exterior of the home.
"It was a great day for our program," said Head Coach Paul Benim.
"We were able to help a good organization that supports families in need."
The Behrend Lions athletic staff and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee
have also worked in the past for Habitat for Humanity as a community service
project.
Habitat for Humanity builds and rehabilitates houses and neighborhoods by
providing simple, decent, affordable homes in partnership with families in
need. Reaching out from Christian roots across denominational, faith,
economic and racial lines, Habitat works in partnership with prospective and
existing homeowners, volunteers, donors, community organizations and all
those who can help reach these goals.
