Recentemente, a Southcoast Health, o fornecedor ortop\u00e9dico oficial dos Providence College Friars, juntou-se a Corey Floyd Jr. e Olivia Rodrigues, estudantes-atletas de destaque dos programas de basquetebol do Providence College, para levar inspira\u00e7\u00e3o, encorajamento e energia \u00e0s crian\u00e7as dos Boys & Girls Clubs de Greater New Bedford e Fall River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As visitas fizeram parte de uma iniciativa cont\u00ednua de sensibiliza\u00e7\u00e3o da comunidade destinada a ligar as crian\u00e7as locais a modelos positivos para aprenderem o valor do trabalho \u00e1rduo, da educa\u00e7\u00e3o e da perseveran\u00e7a. Corey e Olivia partilharam as suas hist\u00f3rias pessoais e participaram em conversas sobre a import\u00e2ncia de se manterem concentrados, de acreditarem em si pr\u00f3prios e de fazerem escolhas de vida saud\u00e1veis. As visitas tamb\u00e9m inclu\u00edram jogos de basquetebol e discuss\u00f5es de grupo, seguidas de fotografias com<\/a> os atletas e as sess\u00f5es de aut\u00f3grafos que deixar\u00e3o certamente uma impress\u00e3o duradoura nos pr\u00f3ximos anos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Para Olivia Rodrigues, a experi\u00eancia foi especialmente significativa. Caloira, formada em servi\u00e7o social, Olivia cresceu em New Bedford e frequentou o mesmo Boys & Girls Club a que regressou. Luke's Hospital, ela atribui ao Clube o m\u00e9rito de a ter ajudado a tornar-se a pessoa e a atleta que \u00e9 hoje. O seu regresso a casa enviou uma mensagem poderosa \u00e0s crian\u00e7as da sua cidade natal de que o sucesso \u00e9 poss\u00edvel com empenho e cora\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Foi um evento fant\u00e1stico\", disse Olivia. \"Estar de volta a casa e nos gin\u00e1sios dos Boys and Girls Clubs onde cresci foi t\u00e3o nost\u00e1lgico e fiquei muito grata pela oportunidade de partilhar a minha hist\u00f3ria com as crian\u00e7as.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corey Floyd Jr., um s\u00e9nior que se est\u00e1 a formar em ci\u00eancias sociais, tamb\u00e9m joga como defesa nos Frades<\/a>. Ao longo do dia, Corey partilhou o seu percurso com as crian\u00e7as, oferecendo uma vis\u00e3o do que \u00e9 necess\u00e1rio para ter sucesso tanto no campo como na sala de aula. A sua confian\u00e7a tranquila e os seus conselhos honestos tiveram eco em muitos dos jovens atletas presentes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Diverti-me imenso com as crian\u00e7as do Boys and Girls Club! Trouxeram-me muita alegria e energia e fizeram-me lembrar como era ser crian\u00e7a outra vez\", disse Corey. \"Espero ter sido capaz de lhes dar uma sensa\u00e7\u00e3o de esperan\u00e7a, tal como eles fizeram por mim. Agrade\u00e7o sinceramente \u00e0 Southcoast Health por me ter dado esta grande oportunidade.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A parceria da Southcoast Health com o Providence College Athletics reflecte a nossa miss\u00e3o comum de promover o bem-estar e a capacita\u00e7\u00e3o das nossas comunidades\", afirmou <\/strong>Joseph Lifrak, MD, um cirurgi\u00e3o ortop\u00e9dico da Southcoast Health. \"Ver Olivia e Corey inspirar as crian\u00e7as nos Boys & Girls Clubs hoje refor\u00e7ou a import\u00e2ncia dos modelos para as crian\u00e7as. N\u00e3o podia estar mais orgulhoso do impacto que a nossa parceria est\u00e1 a ter na comunidade.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esperam-se mais eventos de divulga\u00e7\u00e3o no futuro, \u00e0 medida que a colabora\u00e7\u00e3o entre a Southcoast Health e os Providence College Friars continua a crescer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
