The Rocket football team continued their charity to the Toledo community last Friday when several student-athletes from the team joined head coach Tim Beckman at the Toledo Children's Hospital to pass out Valentine's Day cards to the patients.

"The event went great," said UT Football Business Manager Katie DeBenedictis. Several members of the football team took time out last Wednesday to make Valentine's Day cards for the patients at the Toledo Children's Hospital. Then on Friday they joined head football coach Tim Beckman at the hospital to pass out the cards.

The players talked to the kids, played games with them, and watched the kids draw pictures. Below is a photo gallery of the event, courtesy of the Toledo Rocket Football Program and UTRockets.com.
