AUBURN, Ala. - Kullen Hlawek knew the best way to get her fellow Auburn student-athletes to become invested in a food drive: make it a competition.
“We had donations from every single sport,” said Hlawek, a gymnast who serves as president of Auburn’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. “If there’s one thing we can do, we can compete. It got pretty heated. Pretty intense. The buy-in from all of the sports was fantastic.”
Motivated by a desire to help fellow students in need, and to earn bragging rights among their peers, Auburn student-athletes purchased and donated three truckloads of food during a two-week span in the fall semester.
