Selected to the SEC Community Service Team
Somto Cyril has been extremely eager to make a positive impact on the Athens/Clarke County Community since the day he arrived on campus as a freshman last summer. Among his community service efforts, Cyril took a leading role in the basketball program’s “Shop with a Bulldog” efforts to provide a brighter Christmas holiday for deserving members of the Athens Boys’ & Girls’ Clubs, making his own personal monetary contribution in addition to the team’s funds. Cyril also contributed his own money to help purchase school supplies for Barrow Elementary, which is located across the street from the UGA campus. In addition, Cyril took part in the Clarke County Mentor Program’s Student-Athlete “Spooky Dawgs” initiative and has been a key contributor in the Bulldogs’ association Team IMPACT relationship with Beck Cammarata. Cammarata is a 14-year-old from nearby Winder, Ga., who is battling Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Team IMPACT, a national non-profit organization, has developed a unique multiyear program that matches children facing serious illness and disability with college athletic teams across the country.
