The El Campo Athletics program had the opportunity to make a difference this holiday season! The athletes, coaches, and staff united to donate canned goods and non-perishable items to "Trim" the Athletic Booster Club's tree at the Blessing Cup Trim-A-Tree event. Through this generous effort, they supported our community and earned third place for the most donated items! Way to go, Ricebirds!

And for an exciting twist, the coaches who rallied the most donations got a pie in the face! What a fun way to celebrate their hard work!
