How do we do it?
UGA HEROs rallies students across campus in a year-long fundraiser that culminates in a grand finale at the HERO Olympics--an event for these children and UGA students. UGA HEROs works closely with the UGA football team, Athletic Association, and both Head Football Coach Mark Richt and Georgia Legend Vince Dooley (who are both H.E.R.O. Board members) to help rally students and raise more money for children with HIV/AIDS in Georgia.
