The Durham College women’s volleyball team were in the giving mood during the holidays as they held a fundraiser for YWCA Durham.
 
The YWCA Durham has been serving women and their families in Durham region since 1945 and is a trusted community leader that provides high-quality programs, services and resources that respond to the needs of women, children, youth and families.
 
“When brainstorming ideas for our holiday get-together, we wanted to do something that would benefit others,” said Durham College head coach Tony Clarke. “Rather than buying gifts for one another, our team came up with the idea of purchasing gifts for families in need. It was a great feeling for the team giving back to our community.”
 
The team donated unwrapped toys as well as non-perishable food items to the organization.
 
On the court, the women’s volleyball team finished the 2014 portion of their season with a five game win-streak to improve to 6-3. The Lords will open 2015 hosting the 27^th annual Adidas Cup from January 2-3.
