LWC Student-Athletes support Operation Christmas Child Click on headline for story with photo album By Chris Wells COLUMBIA, Ky. -- For a second straight year, Lindsey Wilson College student-athletes worked throughout the fall to make the Christmas season special for children abroad. Lindsey Wilson athletics produced 710 shoeboxes for the college's participation in Operation Christmas Child. In total, the LWC community gathered 766 shoeboxes -- an increase from last year's nearly 750 shoeboxes -- to help the international aid organization. "I was incredibly proud of last year's efforts and to eclipse those totals this year is amazing," Lindsey Wilson Director of Athletics Willis Pooler said. "The commitment our student-athletes and coaches have towards supporting Operation Christmas Child is heart-warming. "It was wonderful to see all of the stacked shoeboxes around the office over the last month and know that we are going to help hundreds of children throughout the world this Christmas." Operation Christmas Child is coordinated by Samaritan's Purse, a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization. The LWC shoeboxes collected for Operation Christmas Child are filled with toys, school supplies and personal hygiene items and given to disadvantaged children in developing countries. Many of the boxes also included notes and letters from the LWC student-athletes. "Part of the mission of Lindsey Wilson College is to serve, and our student-athletes did that in a beautiful way by participating in Operation Christmas Child," said LWC Vice President for Educational Outreach and Financial Services Denise Fudge, who helped coordinate the OCC effort with LWC athletics administrative assistant Beth Boisvert. "The shoeboxes they prepared will bless children around the world. The smiles on those children's faces will help to spread an abundance of joy and hope to many people." For the last 20 years, volunteers in 11 countries have sent more than 100 million shoeboxes to children in more than 100 countries. This story was posted on 2014-11-26 14:07:48
