Eldridge native Matt Sacia was just announced as a nominee for the 2017 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team®. Since 1992, the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team has been one of the most coveted community service awards in college football, bringing together select student-athletes from all divisions of play to honor their dedication to volunteerism and enriching the lives of others.
The players nominated are uniting the college football community and showing what’s possible when you put all hands in and give back.
Sacia gives back in many ways, including:
- Traveling with Fellowship of Christian Athletes to Wilmington, NC for a week-long service project
- Serving on the executive team for Dance Marathon
- Volunteering six hours a month to help at North Star Community Center, a center for disabled adults
From the 146 nominees, a final roster of 22 award recipients - comprised of 11 players from the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision and 11 players from the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, Divisions II, III and the NAIA - will be unveiled in September. College football fans are encouraged to follow along and join in on the conversation by searching and using #GoodWorksTeam.
