The Bennie Buddie Letter Initiative has been completed for the 2021 Season. It was a huge success! We are hoping to make it an annual tradition so if you'd like to be included in the future please let me know.
January 2021
It’s been a challenging fall and winter for the current CSB Softball team. And their spring is still uncertain. So we could use your help to keep their spirits up.
Earlier this fall, to help keep our campus safe, all athletic teams were asked to pause practices. While disappointed, our student-athletes took the news with grace and turned toward the positives. They completed a team 21 day gratitude journal, scheduled team Zoom sessions and found time to connect individually via Facetime with teammates and coaches.
I’m so proud of them. But I know it’s not their ideal and it has to wear on them. So we’re looking for alums to serve as Bennie Buddies for all 25 members of this year’s team.
Being a Bennie Buddy will involve reaching out to your athlete with a letter of support and encouragement. Share with them what the team meant to you then and what it means to you now.
I really believe that connecting with our amazing alumnae will brighten their days. It will also help them feel more included in the Saint Benedict Athletics community – even when it feels like we can’t do that through training and competition.
Please email me at rclick@csbsju.edu if you are willing to get involved.
Thanks for your help!
