Fall Ball is in the air. College baseball is coming. But in the midst of building a new stadium and a new season for the National Champions, the off-season is being built off the backs of the team, as they offer support to the victims of Hurricane Helene.
Location: Greeneville, Tennessee. In the parking lot of First Baptist Church in Greeneville, you will find the team not delivering purchase options off their Name, Image and Likeness, but you will see them delivering their name and likeness to victims of Helene needing water and non-perishable items.

The destruction to the nearby Appalachian communities is vastly underreported. The 2024 National Championship Baseball team is doing what they do best, putting their talk to a walk.
This is the type of Volunteer activity that is seen across the East Tennessee region right now as Vol Twitter took to action to immediately take care of their own.

Regardless of your team colors, this combined effort from the positive power of social media is showcasing what it truly means to be a Volunteer.
