ATLANTA, GA (February 20, 2019) – USF women's soccer junior Malani Lee was named a Coach Wooden Citizenship Cup Finalist for her extensive work bringing help and hope to underprivileged children.
The junior forward from Plymouth, Mass., has made community service a priority since the sixth grade, when Lee started her foundation called "Cleats for Kids." Since then, Lee has gathered and distributed more than 1,000 pairs of donated cleats to kids in Haiti, Jamaica, West Africa and the United States. In addition to her donated cleats, Lee has spent time gathering items such as notebooks, coloring books and instructional materials as well as jump ropes to donate on her annual visits to Haiti.
