Legacy High School Boys Basketball Team Volunteers at Basin Dream Center

Midland is buzzing with news about the Legacy High School boys basketball team, who recently took time out of their busy schedules to lend a helping hand at the Basin Dream Center. On October 4, these young athletes dove headfirst into their volunteer work during the heartwarming Love Midland community service event. It’s a stellar moment that showcases both the spirit of teamwork and commitment to community that runs deep in Midland.

A Season of Giving Back

The event was not just another day on the calendar but a well-planned initiative that Coach Chris Suttle discovered over the summer. After seeing the amazing community service opportunities available on the Love Midland website, he was inspired to integrate this meaningful project into the team’s fall activities. Coach Suttle’s goal was clear: to instill the values of selflessness and kindness in his players, all while promoting team bonding through the ethos of the basketball program.

A Personal Connection

This particular volunteering experience held a special spot in the hearts of the players. One of their teammates has been living at the Basin Dream Center due to some challenges at home. Not only did they show up to work, but they also did so with a personal connection, knowing they were helping out a friend in need. It added a seemingly profound layer to their volunteering efforts, making it even more impactful for the entire team.

A Thriving Group Effort

On the day of service, a group of nineteen basketball players, along with several supportive parents, gathered at the Basin Dream Center to get their hands dirty for a good cause. They dedicated two solid hours to a range of tasks that were crucial in sprucing up the community space. The tasks included:

  • Painting near the pool area for a fresh, vibrant look.
  • Cleaning and re-mulching flower beds to enhance the beauty of the surroundings.
  • Removing debris that had gathered over time.
  • Tearing down an old fence to make way for new improvements.
  • Organizing equipment around the property, allowing for a better use of space.

A Round of Applause

The hard work did not go unnoticed. Staff members from the Love Midland and the Basin Dream Center showered praise on the students for their remarkable work ethic and selfless attitude. It was heartening to see the energy and delivery of young individuals eager to step up and make a difference.

Proud Moments and Life Lessons

Coach Suttle couldn’t have been prouder of his team. Their strong efforts reflected not just physical labor, but mindful compassion that translated into personal growth. More importantly, this experience served as a valuable lesson that transcends the boundaries of basketball. The camaraderie developed during their time at the Dream Center is bound to stick with them well beyond the court.

A Meaningful Experience

For the teammate residing at the Basin Dream Center, the turnout was a joyful experience. Being able to share the grounds with his teammates meant the world to him and highlighted the tight-knit bond they share as not just players, but as friends. Nothing beats the feeling of knowing you have a solid support system behind you!

Commitment to Community

Through this engaging volunteer effort, the Legacy High School boys basketball team exemplifies the commitment to character building and service-oriented experiences that Midland ISD actively promotes. It shows that giving back is not merely an event; it is a way of life, and these young athletes are certainly embracing that ethos.

As Midland continues to champion community involvement, events like this reinforce the idea that together, we can make a difference, one volunteer hour at a time!
