Students, fans and administrators from two teams, preparing for an unprecedented BCS battle, took the time to step away from the game and work together to help the Arizona community.
Spirit squad members, fans and school officials from the University of Central Florida and Baylor University met on New Year’s Eve at the children’s hospital in Phoenix and at the St. Mary’s Food Bank to give back to the community before the Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Day.

The two schools met with patients at the hospital to interact, play games and support the young children going through treatments at the hospital.
“We’re here to have fun with them and just get their minds off of things and just spend the day with them,” UCF cheerleader Jay Hollman said.
The two schools, including UCF administrators President John Hitt, Vice President Maribeth Ehasz and Student Body President Melissa Westbrook, worked together at the food bank to help package food that feeds hungry families around Arizona.
“I think it has a good impact on the community and it also shows them that two people that are going to the last BCS bowl game, Fiesta Bowl bowl game, are working together,” UCF Student Body President Melissa Westbrook said.
