Each Friday in February, the football team volunteers its time for a community project. Other community projects have included face-painting youngsters waiting to have dental work done at UT Medical Center during &#8220;Give a Kid a Smile Day&#8221; and visiting children at Apple Tree Nursery School on UT\u2019s Main Campus. <\/p>\n<p>Last year, the team held a bowling fundraiser that generated $3,000 for the American Red Cross&#8217;s Haiti Relief Fund.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s very important for our young men to give back a little something to the community that supports them on Saturdays in the fall,&#8221; Beckman said. &#8220;It only takes a little effort on our part to visit children in the hospital or volunteer at a school. We want our student-athletes&#8217; experience to be more than just about playing football and going to class.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Rockets with love.
