Community Partnership

SUinDC Partners with the Carmelo Anthony Youth Development Center and the Living Classrooms Foundation

In March 2012, SUinDC partnered with the Living Classrooms Foundation to host BHealthy. BFit. BMore., a health-focused day for the kids at the Carmelo Anthony Youth Development Center.  Over 100 underserved kids from downtown Baltimore rotated through four stations: football, basketball, Tae Kwon Do, and nutrition.  The children received sustainable health and exercise tips from former Syracuse University athletes and prominent individuals in the community.  Notable participants included:

  • Cathal Armstrong - celebrity chef, advisor to Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign
  • Rochelle Coleman '05 - former SU basketball player, Women's European Basketball League
  • Marvin Graves '94 - former SU quarterback, Canadian Football League
  • Herman Harried '88 - former SU basketball player, European Basketball League
  • Garland Hawkins '92 - former SU football player, Chicago Bears
  • Duane Kinnon '91 - former SU football player, New York Giants
  • Jason Yoo '00 - former U.S. National Tae Kwon Do Team member & Olympic alternate

Highlights from our 2012 BHealthy. BFit. BMore. event:

We are very excited to share that we will be working with the Living Classrooms Foundation again in March 2013.  If you are interested in getting involved, please contact Joy Yoo at jjyoo01@syr.edu.

About the Living Classrooms Foundation:
Living Classrooms Foundation is a Baltimore-Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization that strengthens communities and inspires young people to achieve their potential through hands-on education and job training; using urban, natural and maritime resources as "living classrooms."  The Foundation's Carmelo Anthony Youth Development Center responds to the community's need for intervention that supports the academic and social development of disadvantaged youth.  The children and youth served reside primarily in public housing and low-income neighborhoods and their communities lack many of the services found in more affluent areas.  The Youth Development Center provides services in five core areas: Education and Career Development, Character and Development, Health and Life Skills, The Arts and Cultural Enrichment, and Sports and Reacreation.
