For the 18th year in a row the University of Alabama Student Athlete Commission worked with the Prison Fellowship and its Angel Tree Project to give gifts to needy children from their incarcerated family members.

A great deal of planning went into this project. Associates from the fellowship went to local prisons and spoke to detainees who could not be with their families over the Christmas holiday. The inmates made lists of what gifts they would like to give to their children.

The Crimson Tide team members then started raising and donating money to help buy the toys that the inmates wished to give to their families. Finally, after hours of wrapping and tying, they gave the gifts to the wide-eyed children at Coleman Coliseum Tuesday.
