The DBU Patriot Athletic Department had over 100 student-athletes and representatives from all 14 intercollegiate sports show up on Wednesday, November 14, 2007, to take part in their annual wrapping party for Operation Christmas Child, sponsored by the Diamond Belles, Cheerleaders and the Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC).
Operation Christmas Child program of Samaritan's Purse provides an opportunity for people of all ages to be involved in a simple, hands-on missions project while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas -- Jesus Christ. Each individual participating is responsible for bringing a shoebox filled with all kinds of products for children of all ages.
The Patriots, who held the wrapping party on the campus of Dallas Baptist University, was able to collect over 150 boxes, which all included products such as toothpaste, toys, pens, pencils, calculators, toothbrush, comb, washcloth, candy, T-shirts, socks, watches, and personal notes from the individual sending the package.
DBU Director of Athletics said, "It was a great experience seeing our student-athletes turn out the way they did for these children who need our help. I know that the work they did on Wednesday night will make a difference in the lives of these young children. I am so thankful that we have student-athletes here at DBU who are willing to sacrifice their free time to help out individuals in need."
