This school year, the University of Akron began its second year of partnership with The 2nd & 7 Foundation. Through this partnership, student-athletes in the University of Akron Leadership Academy are serving as positive role models in elementary schools in the Akron community and surrounding areas. Thanks to the athletes’ efforts, young readers are given encouragement to work hard in school, while receiving Hog Mollies books that teach important life lessons.
This fall, The 2nd & 7 Foundation’s reading program went virtual to accommodate online classes and many student athletes are paying it forward in big ways.
Thanks to these athlete volunteers who are making a big difference! #readersandleaders #2and7nc https://t.co/XZC9YTxZJC
