Redhawks Reach Out: Golisano Children's Hospital 2023

On Feb. 18, Roberts Wesleyan hosted a Basketball double header to culminate the fund-raising efforts for Golisano Children’s’ Hospital. Athletics has been partnering and supporting Golisano Children's Hospital since the 2018-2019 season. The event includes hosting a basketball game with children and families who are associated with the hospital as our Honorary Captains for that game.
 
Money was raised for Golisano's Children's Hospital in a variety of ways including concessions, raffles, and free throw contests to help the hospital and support the Onnie Wells Child Life Fund.  In 2021, Roberts won the NCAA Division II Award of Excellence, the top award for a service project, for this event. 
 
The highlight of the day was seeing honorary captain, Jacob Noyes, be introduced to run through the tunnel of our players. It was a special moment to  recognize our friend from the hospital and share how Golisano Children's Hospital has changed his life.
