Baseball Team Assists Local Red Cross

The Alfred State baseball team spent Valentine's Day morning helping the Red Cross in Wellsville. Thirty-five players and coaches helped clean out and organize storage areas.

The main task the team performed was cleaning a large storage area and moving the items to a differnt area of the offices. The team worked for two hours and was able to accomplish the task for the Red Cross.

Chuck Marra, executive director of the Western New York Chapter of the Red Cross was appreciative of the effort put forth by the team. "Thank you so much to you (Coach Cronin) and the Alfred State team for cleaning out the Red Cross 2nd floor office in Wellsville.  We could not have done it without all of you. Like the old saying goes, "many hands make light work" --- and your team certainly epitomized that saying."

This is the second service project the team has performed this school year. The team participated in the Day of Service by helping at Gil's Hill and a portion of the team recently went to assist the Alfred Box of Books with some snow removal.

The Pioneers are slated to open up their 2015 season on February 28th at Penn State Greater Allegheny.
