UMW Women's Basketball Volunteers at Riverfest, Cider Festival

Members of the UMW women’s basketball program volunteered at two local Fredericksburg area events on Saturday, September 19. The Friends of the Rappahannock (FOR) celebrated their 25th anniversary of the Riverfest held at Farley Vale Farm in King George. Members of the women’s basketball team helped with food service and event breakdown. This event aids the surrounding community through advocacy and conservation efforts for the Rappahannock River. This is an annual community service event the women’s basketball team participates in and enjoys meeting and interacting with community members.

Members of the team also aided Dr. Lynne Richardson, Dean of the College of Business, in volunteering at the Virginia Cider Festival. The event was comprised of many local food and beverage vendors, musical groups and local radio stations. The festival benefited Community Outreach, Inc.
