PHILADELPHIA –More than 200 students and staff from Alain Locke Elementary School joined Drexel coaches and student-athletes at Drexel's Vidas Play Day on Monday afternoon. It was the fourth year of the event which brings local grade school students to Drexel for a day of athletic activities. Vidas Field Play Day was coordinated by Drexel's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and members of Drexel's varsity athletic teams.
Vidas Field Play Day is held in partnership with Drexel's Vice President in the Office of University & Community Partnerships. It encourages West Philadelphia area students to stay active and to build their confidence through participation in athletic activities.
"With the consistency of this event, the students are starting to recognize our faces, both staff and student-athletes, and that familiarity is building real relationships," Drexel Assistant Athletic Director Peaches Brown, who oversees the department's involvement said. "It's meaningful for us to be more than just an annual visit. We're becoming a trusted presence in their lives."
