What is community service?  Community service is performing an act as either an individual or group to benefit the public or an organization.  The public or organization as well as the volunteer benefit from community service.  .

Adelphi University Athletics conducts a great program for cancer patients, Cans for Cancer.  Around Adelphi's Garden City campus there are blue containers, in which cans and bottles are deposited.  Every athletic team is assigned bins, which they manage and empty on a regular schedule.  The bottles are then recycled for their deposit, and all proceeds are donated to Winthrop Cancer Center for Kids.

On Friday, April 6, 2012, members from the Adelphi Men's Lacrosse team visited the Cancer Center.  These members included Capitan Eric Janssen, Jeff Melsopp, Kevin Kennedy, Nick Massaro, James Maroney, Vincent Alestra, and Kenneth Worker.  
 
At the center, they met with Development Specialist, Elizabeth Urbanski, for a tour of the facility.  Following the tour of the Winthrop Cancer Center for Kids, the Adelphi Men's Lacrosse team pulled together, and sorted over fifty bags to be deposited for the center.
