She was with UNCP's CAPPYprogram on a trip to a basketball . game. ICAPPYtreats local kids to a Charlotte Hornets game |'i| By Johnnie Winchester B "University Relations Pembroke-Wme area youths were (treated to a Charlotte Homets game and a clinic by former NC State and N B A star David Thompson. The project was sponsored by the Campus Police and Pembroke Youth programs known as CAPPY. CAPPY is a two-year-old enrichment program at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke for youth living in the Pembroke Housing Authority and the town. CAPPY was started by UNCP Police and Public Safety Director David Helton. It involves the campus police as well as other campus organizations, most notably the athletic department. Dr. Brenda Burgess, assistant professor and women's tennis coach, and three of her players, Emily Bailey, Seabrook Jones, and Melissa Medlin took the youngsters to see the Homets take on the Indiana Pacers at he Char[ lotte Coliseum. Burgess believes the scholarships that college athletes receive should require more than just playing sports. "An athlete should look at it like they are having their college expenses paid for playing a sport that they love," Dr. Burgess said. "So why not give something back to the community that gave them this great opportunity." The youth were treated to a message from Thompson about life choices. Then they received a basketball clinic from Thompson and members of the Homets. The youth returned home after a long and exciting day. "Two of my girls were sound asleep before we got home, but the kids were still going," Dr. Burgess aid. "It was a great day for all of us. We'll do it again if we can." Chief Helton said CAPPY trips to the N.C. Zoo, the beach and other fun destinations have been very successful in the two years since the organization was founded. But there is a price to pay for success. "CAPPY lives hand to mouth through the generosity of private donors and fund raising projects," he said. "If we are to continue being successful, we are going to need more assistance." If you would like to be a CAPPY volunteer please contact Chief Helton at 521 -6690. If you would I ike to make a contribution, please call the UNCP Foundation, Inc. at 521-6533. 3rd Annual Toy Drive To Be Held Nov. 29 thru Dec. 13 I - It's that time or>car again and the Robeson Street Rod Association is kicking off it's 3rd Annual Toy Drive to be carried out fromNovcmbCr 2') through December 13 Againthisyenr. this group of car enthusiasts is donating their time, effort and money to help the children that have passed through the Southeastern Family Violence Center to have a special Christmas Last year, with the community's help, they helped over 125 children have a better Christmas. > The Robeson Street Rod Association (RSR A) isdonaliug$5<)0 towards this toy drive, and tliev are asking the public to help make litis Christmas a special time for these children The cnildrcn range in age from birth to 17 ycarsof age.
