I still remember the first time I stepped foot on the Alabama A&M University campus. The beautiful scenery and historic buildings left a lasting impression on me. However, I couldn’t help but notice the vast distance between the various buildings, making it a challenge for students, faculty, and visitors to navigate. That’s why I was thrilled to hear about the recent donation of a golf cart to the women’s basketball program from the Center for Rural Enterprise and Environmental Justice (CREEJ).
According to Coach Thornton, the golf cart will be a game-changer for the program, allowing them to transport recruits, alumni, and potential donors around the campus with ease. It’s amazing to think about the impact this simple gesture can have on the program’s ability to attract top talent and build relationships with key stakeholders.
A Privilege to Support the Community
“It’s a privilege to be able to support Coach Thornton and her wonderful program,” said Dr. Catherine Coleman Flowers, founder of CREEJ. “We’re committed to helping Alabama A&M University and the other great educational institutions in Huntsville, and the students they serve. Many of these students live in or will serve communities impacted by climate change or environmental justice.”
It’s heartening to see organizations like CREEJ giving back to the community in meaningful ways. As a society, we often focus on the big-ticket items, but it’s the small gestures like this that can make a significant difference in the lives of individuals and communities.
The Bigger Picture
This donation is not just about the golf cart; it’s about the values and principles that it represents. It’s about a community coming together to support one another and recognizing the importance of education and environmental justice. As we move forward, it’s essential that we continue to prioritize these values and work towards creating a more equitable and sustainable future for all.

In conclusion, the donation of the golf cart to the Alabama A&M women’s basketball program is a shining example of what can be achieved when we come together to support one another. It’s a reminder that even the smallest gestures can have a significant impact when they’re driven by a passion for making a difference.
