BATON ROUGE — In a continuing effort to give back to the community, the LSU volleyball team visited the Children’s Center at Our Lady of the Lady Hospital on Monday afternoon.
The athletes spent time in the playroom with the children, socializing, playing games and signing autographs. They also made their way around to the rooms of several of the children who were too sick to leave their rooms.
The Tigers attended this event as part of LSU’s Shaquille O’Neal CHAMPS/Life Skills Program. The CHAMPS (Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success) program is designed to help student-athletes realize higher academic achievement, increase likelihood of graduation and enter a chosen profession with a higher level of vision, knowledge, motivation, self-responsibility and greater overall success.
LSU returns to action this weekend as they travel to take on Georgia in Athens, Ga., next Friday at 7 p.m. ET before traveling to Gainesville, Fla., to take on No. 3 Florida on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. ET.
