SALT LAKE CITY - The University of Utah men's basketball team participated in the University Health Care Annual Kids' Health and Safety Fair Saturday, in an effort to give back to the community and support other on-campus programs. The Runnin' Utes could be seen signing autographs, taking pictures with attendees, shooting baskets and participating in health-awareness activities.
"I think we have an obligation to give back to a community and a campus that has given a lot to us," said head coach Jim Boylen. "We want to use our stature as a Division I basketball program to help raise public awareness of events like the Kids' Health and Safety Fair. As soon as I took this job I said we were going to do that and we are following through."
The fair was held at the University of Utah Neuropsychiatric Institute and was open to children and families, free of charge. The event featured exhibits and activities aimed at helping to educate children about health and safety issues.
"Our medical school is doing some great things that people may not be aware of," said Boylen, "Especially when it comes to brain and spinal injuries, injuries that you may not see every day but are a big deal. We want to help raise exposure and awareness of these programs. If our team can help people understand the importance of the work they do, we are committed to doing that.
"Our players have a lot to be thankful for and they need to learn that not everything is about them," Boylen continued. "Part of creating a winning team is having a self-less mindset and attitude. We want to grow that idea while giving back to the community at the same time. We want to support the programs and organizations that have supported us."
The 2008 event marked the second consecutive year of the Utes' participation in the Kids' Health and Safety Fair.
"I think it's really good to get out and support this event," said sophomore guard Carlon Brown. "People recognize us and the faces they see on television. If we can use that status to help support something that educates kids while also having fun with them, that's really important. That's what this is all about for us."
