Expanding recognition across all sports

Past honorees are student-athletes like Penn State golfer Jami Morris, who launched Hit Fore Hope, a cancer research fundraiser; Auburn gymnast Sophia Groth, who supported student parents through nonprofit advocacy with Baby Steps; and Loyola Chicago goalkeeper Aidan Crawford, who founded Special Olympics Loyola University Chicago to support adults with disabilities. These three individuals were recognized as Allstate NACDA Good Works Team captains for their leadership and dedication.
About the Allstate NACDA Good Works Team: The Allstate NACDA Good Works Team was established in 2024 to recognize male and female student-athletes across all collegiate sports and divisions for their leadership in community service, academics and athletics. Building on the legacy of the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team®, which has honored college football players since 1992, this expanded initiative highlights the impact of student-athletes who go beyond the game to serve others.
