From the ACC:
The ACC, on behalf of our women’s golf teams, donated a variety of children’s books to Millis Road Elementary School in Greensboro, N.C. as part of ACC Community Connections initiative. This year the Atlantic Coast Conference instituted an initiative known as ACC Community Connections, which pairs ACC teams and local schools to teach the importance of reading and other life lessons to the children in our championship communities. Russell Harper, Principal of Millis Road accepted the donation of books in a brief ceremony Sunday, at the 18th green, just before the championship trophy presentation.
