Each year the Blue Dolphin swim team takes a break from the water to give back to the community.
This year they chose to give to the veterans hospitalized at VA in Danville.
One hundred seventy-six toothbrushes, 115 denture cleaners, 45 bottles of shampoo, 45 bath towels, 19 toasters and 15 coffee pots are just some of the 818 items the Sullivan Blue Dolphins collected which were delivered to the hospital Feb. 2.
Head coach Jason Drury each year does something with the swimmers for the community and soldiers/veterans. He has a strong belief in teaching them to give back to the community they live in.
This year Samantha Berner of the American Legion provided Drury with a list of needs for the VA hospital. The team set out with a challenge to collect the items as a means to knock laps off their practice Saturday, January 23.
