📣 Male Mentoring Day & Service Trip The Rich Township Male Mentoring Program had an incredible experience serving others and building brotherhood! 💪 Our young men traveled to the Feed My Starving Children facility in Aurora, Illinois, where they prepared, packaged, sealed, and boxed meals for children in need across the world. Their teamwork, focus, and commitment to helping others truly reflected what it means to be a Raptor. ❤️🖤 Special thanks to our program sponsors Coach Corey Stallings, Coach Curtis Crossley, and Coach Stephen Walker, along with Head Football Coach Q. Woods and Head Sophomore Basketball Coach Demetrius Williams for volunteering their time and leadership. We’d also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Rich Township graduate Dawndria Murray for graciously hosting our group at Culver’s in Matteson for lunch after the event. 💯✌️ Go Raptors! #RaptorReady #RichInStudentSuccess
