Morehouse Athletes Help Zaxby’s Staff

It’s always inspiring to see student-athletes give back to the community and show appreciation for their supporters. Recently, student-athletes from Morehouse College teamed up with Zaxby’s, a popular fast-food chain, to help serve lunch, demonstrating a strong sense of partnership and gratitude.

A Partnership Built on Support

On March 27th, Morehouse student-athletes visited a local Zaxby’s location that serves the college community. Their goal was to express their thanks for the restaurant’s ongoing support throughout the academic year. This event highlighted the mutually beneficial relationship between the college and the fast-food franchise.

Morehouse Athletic Director Harold Ellis emphasized the impact of this support, stating, “Support like this makes a real difference for our student-athletes.” He further commended SJAC Food Groups, the company that owns the Zaxby’s franchise, for being tremendous partners. The athletes proudly served alongside the Zaxby’s team, showing their appreciation for the commitment shown to their program.

More Than Just Meals

Zaxby’s has been a consistent supporter of Morehouse Athletics, providing meals for athletes after games and during demanding competition days. This support is crucial for keeping the student-athletes focused and energized. By stepping in to help serve customers, the Morehouse team returned the favor, becoming teammates with the restaurant staff for the day.

An executive from SJAC Food Groups echoed the sentiment of partnership, stating, “ZAXBYS is proud to partner with Morehouse College, an institution rooted in excellence, leadership, and legacy.” The collaboration aims to foster student success, enhance campus life, and build community connections through shared experiences and good food.

A Successful Year for Morehouse Athletics

This collaborative event comes during a highly successful year for Morehouse Athletics. The Maroon Tigers have celebrated championships in men’s basketball, cross country, and indoor track & field. The football team achieved its best season in seven years, while baseball and golf are enjoying their strongest campaigns in over a decade.

Most recently, the baseball team secured a dramatic comeback victory against Clark Atlanta, moving them into fifth place in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC). This spirit of teamwork and success is evident both on and off the field.
