Members of the men’s volleyball team volunteered this month for an annual River Forest fundraising event benefiting children’s charities.

The 18 players took part in LemonAid, a local tradition in River Forest that has been held annually since 2002 to mark the anniversary of 9/11 and raise awareness and money for organizations that serve children. In total, the event has raised over $500,000 for 24 local charities in the last 21 years.

Dr. Elizabeth Soto, activity director of Title V, Part A2 at Dominican University, has been selected to join a new leadership program from the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities.
