NORFOLK, Va. – The Norfolk State University baseball program's third annual fundraiser benefitting the Food Bank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore, held on Wednesday, May 4, resulted in donations that will provide more than 1,080 meals to the surrounding community.

The Spartan baseball program collected monetary donations and non-perishable food item donations for the Food Bank at NSU's game against Richmond. NSU collected 688 pounds of food and $178 at the game.

"On behalf of the Spartan Baseball program, I would like to thank all of the organizations and individuals who generously supported the Food Bank fundraiser," NSU head baseball coach Claudell Clark said. "I'm hopeful that this event will gain greater awareness each year so that we can continue to assist with the fight against hunger in Southeastern Virginia."
