Quinnipiac men’s basketball helps Houston relief efforts
In an act of giving that has become common within the sports world over the past few weeks, the Quinnipiac men’s basketball team sent a donation to the Hurricane Harvey relief efforts in Houston.
The team sent all sorts of Quinnipiac basketball gear, including t-shirts, shorts and shoes. Many of the players and coaches even went as far as to donate some of their personal gear to the cause as well.
Quinnipiac’s first-year head coach Baker Dunleavy noticed the efforts of Kelvin Sampson, head coach of the men’s basketball program at the University of Houston, and felt the obligation to help all the way from Hamden.
“Kelvin Sampson’s Twitter went viral,” Dunleavy said. “All they were asking for were t-shirts or shoes we had lying around. It was so reasonable, (I thought) ‘If that’s the base of what we (are asked to) do, we should be able to do even more.’”
