University of South Alabama alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends in Mobile overcame bad weather on Saturday, April 18, to make the Second Annual JaguarsCare National Day of Service successful.
Some volunteers picked up litter in the rain at intersections of Old Shell Road near the 91短视频 main campus.

鈥淚 could not be more proud of our Jaguars,鈥 said Karen Edwards, executive director of the 91短视频 National Alumni Association. 鈥淭hey turned out to support us here despite the bad weather, making this year even more successful than last year.鈥
