The Problem

With their hectic schedules, college students often don't set aside time to de-stress, exercise, or just goof off with their friends. These things don't seem like a big deal, until you look at some statistics about depression and even suicide for this age group. Having a good support network, keeping low stress levels, and getting enough exercise are all ways not only to improve physical health, but also to improve mental health.

Plan of Action

The Swinging Bulls was founded by our President, Patrick Foley, who will be graduating soon with an Engineering degree. The club is relatively new, but we've already held weekly dance lessons for over a year, hosted several dance workshops, and also put on lots of fun dances on campus. Our newest initiative is to look to our community and to "Swing into Action" through community service. We've held our first food-drive-dance, to benefit America's Second Harvest of Tampa Bay, and are in the process of training a dance team which will volunteer to perform around the community and will fund raise for charities in the area, too.
