This week, members of the Colgate Men’s Basketball team stepped off the court and into the community, volunteering their time with Hamilton Community Bikes.

In just under two hours, the group helped pump up tires on nearly 30 bikes, playing a small but meaningful role in preparing for a major giveaway of nearly 200 bikes to local families. The team showed up with energy, teamwork, and a willingness to help however they could.

From working through a lineup of bikes to stepping in for one another when needed, it was a true team effort from start to finish.

Moments like this reflect what the 13 Collective is all about. Supporting opportunities for Colgate student-athletes to give back, connect with the community, and represent the program with pride beyond game day.
