Griffins in the Community
Each year, members of the Griffin family extend service to members of the community.
Previous Service Events:
December 7, 2012- Fontbonne University’s Men’s Volleyball players and coaches helped the St. Louis Arc host an event for individuals with special needs.
The St. Louis Arc is a non-profit, United Way agency that provides support and services to more than 3,000 adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Their fun night included dancing, mingling, and organizing snacks for the members of the Arc at the St. Lucas Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Oct. 18th- On October 17th and 18th, the men's and women's soccer teams wore special pink jerseys in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Sept. 24, 2012 - The Fontbonne University men's and women's soccer programs hosted a "SPENSA Soccer Saturday" event this weekend during the Griffins' game against Millikin University.
At halftime of the men's game, SPENSA members participated in a
scrimmage to highlight the organization. The Special Needs Soccer
Association, SPENSA, is a Not-for-Profit, St. Louis-based soccer
program for young people with disabilities.
This program is open to any boy or girl with a disability, ages
5-21. It is designed to bring the excitement and fun of playing
soccer to players who traditionally have not had a place in the
youth soccer system. Games are normally played at the Anheuser
Busch Soccer Park. The park is located at I-270 and Highway 44.
SPENSA is free of charge to all of these very special children.

Dec. 20, 2011 - The Fontbonne University men's and women’s soccer teams as well as the women’s softball team got "wrapped" up in the Christmas spirit as they recently volunteered at the Community Action Agency of St. Louis' Winter Wonderland Event. The team assisted families participating in the event by shopping for present and wrapping them. Fontbonne athletic teams have volunteered with the CAASTL for the last five years.
Dec. 20, 2011 - The Fontbonne University men's baseball team recently took time out of their day earlier this month to volunteer at the Delta Gamma Center for Children Shining Tree lot. Over 35 Fontbonne baseball players helped customers carry and load their Christmas trees on December 11th.
