Everyone knows that Operation Win is the theme of the Joker Phillips era of Kentucky Football. It stands for winning on the field, in the classroom and in the community. Winning in the community is just what they did when players from this years team took time out of their day to help flood victims by working with the Christian Appalachian Project.

Here’s an excerpt from a post on the CAP site…
[QUOTE]The experience for two members of the team had to be particularly personal; Moncell Allen and Anthony Kendrick know all too well the devastation that comes with floods. They are survivors of Hurricane Katrina. CAP served in Mississippi for three months after Katrina and also knows about the extreme conditions experienced by so many in that disaster. Giving back is a cathartic process and we hope that today we helped these two young men and their teammates feel the pride and joy that comes with service to others.
But this team is no stranger to community service. Under the guidance of Coach Joker Phillips and his new initiative Operation Win, donating their time to the community is something expected of these players. And a life skill that’s taught off the field that will stay with them far after their UK football years.

It’s great to see the Football team helping the flood victims in Eastern KY. Just take a second to [URL=”http://www.christianapp.org/2010/07/uk-football-team-helps/”]click here, visit the site[/URL] and make a donation. It doesn’t matter how large or small, but helping fellow Kentuckians and CAT fans (don’t worry, UofL fans do not exist in Eastern KY), is definitely worth the time.
