On 10/19/2024, AYLUS Space Coast attended the Be a Buddy 5K hosted by the Parker Foundation. The Be a Buddy 5K united kids with special needs to celebrate anti-bullying initiatives and participate in an outdoor run. Our AYLUS members spent time with the kids after their run, teaching them to play sports such as basketball, soccer, and tennis.
One child in particular was unable to talk, but was very passionate about basketball. He found time before and after the run to shoot hoops and play a game with our members.
From this experience, our members have gained awareness on the importance of providing a safe space for children.
Members: Madison Shi, Bryan Brett, Sarah Brett
