CHICAGO, Ill. - Last month, members of the Illinois Institute of Technology men's basketball team volunteered with the Chicago Housing Authority's Easter Essay Contest. Tech student-athletes served as the contest's judges and helped the children paint Easter eggs.

"The kids had a great time at the Easter event," said men's basketball student-athlete Jason Morris. "We all had a lot of fun, and I met some great people!"

"It was a very fun and rewarding experience for our guys, and we look forward to more Chicago Housing Authority events throughout the summer," said Head Coach Todd Kelly.
