The Grand View University baseball and softball teams came together for a Champions of Character event to donate gifts to senior citizens this holiday season. The head coaches from both teams (Lou Yacinich Sr. & Lou Yacinich Jr.) met with Anne Peters, owner of Home Instead Senior Care, and were given ornaments with names of the senior citizens and a gift they were hoping to get this season. The head coaches passed the ornaments out to players from both teams and on December 2nd participated in a gift-giving assembly in between the men and women's basketball games. This program was called Santas for Seniors and the Grand View baseball and softball teams donated over 100 gifts altogether. The gifts go directly to seniors in the Central Iowa area.
