BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Texas A&M's Everett Vaughn was named to the Southeastern Conference Community Service Team, the league announced Thursday.
Â
Vaughn organized and led a crew of volunteer construction workers to help renovate and demo homes in rural low income areas in Texas. After the historic freeze in February of 2020, he and a crew of volunteers in the Brazos and Burleson County areas provided heaters and assisted in making sure affected communities where able to stay warm and have food and water.
Â
He is currently in the process of endowing a diversity in construction scholarship, which will endows a scholarship in the school of construction science to a socially disadvantaged student from a Texas high school.
Â
Vaughn has participated in Buzz's Bunch which is a program started by head coach Buzz Williams with the primary objective of helping children with special needs come together socially while hopefully jumpstarting a passion for the game of basketball.
Â
In his hometown of Houston, he developed a network of friends and family to assist and provide pre-packed meals for the homeless.
Â
This marks the 24th year for the SEC Community Service Team for men's basketball as well as for women's basketball. All 21 league-sponsored sports have had a Community Service Team since 2004, with at-large teams for men's and women's sports being chosen from 1999-2003. The SEC began this concept with a football Community Service Team in 1994.
