O Heroes Hosts "Quackin' Action"

Editor, GoDucks.com

In one corner of the Moshofsky Center on Sunday, a group of UO cheerleaders was teaching a routine to a group of young girls.

At midfield, men’s basketball player Jordan Bell led another group through a game of “red light, green light,” while football player T.J. Daniel and yet another group of kids balanced lacrosse sticks at the end of a single finger. Outside, softball player Danica Mercado reviewed some nutritional tips while other UO students from the athletic department handed out fruit slices.

It was all part of “Quackin’ Action,” the annual service project for the O Heroes program that on Sunday featured more than 50 members of various UO programs, and more than 250 kids from schools in neighboring Springfield.
