Andrew officially joins the program
Syracuse University head football coach Dino Babers announced a new team member, signing 15-year-old Andrew Enright through Team IMPACT.
Â
Andrew, who has cerebral palsy, was officially introduced at a signing day event on Thursday, August 25th at the John A. Lally Athletics Complex. He will participate in many activities over the next two years, including games, practices, and other team events.
Â
Team IMPACT, a national non-profit organization, has developed a unique multiyear program that matches children facing serious illness and disability with college athletic teams across the country. Based on a clinical model, Team IMPACT guides a symbiotic relationship between teams and children focused on socialization, empowerment, and resilience.
Â
"Team IMPACT is excited to see Andrew officially join the Syracuse family," said Danielle Hardee, Regional Director of Programs, Northeast at Team IMPACT. "We are proud to work alongside Syracuse University, their athletic department and coaching staff to create lifelong bonds and life-changing outcomes between student-athletes and their Team IMPACT teammates."
Â
Syracuse University has worked with Team IMPACT for the past 8 years, matching 11 children across its men's basketball, field hockey, football, men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's soccer, women's ice hockey, and softball teams.
Â
"We're talking about lifelong friendships," Babers said when introducing Andrew to the team this morning. "The guys in this room are going to be in your wedding. Your kids are going to call them 'uncle' even though they're not related to you. Andrew is going to be part of this family. Andrew is going to be in those weddings and one of those uncles."
