Basketball teams work with special needs children at Magic Paintbrush Project

The Binghamton University men’s and women’s basketball programs made their annual trip to the Magic Paintbrush Project, at its Johnson City office inside the Oakdale Mall, to work with special needs students at a teamwork seminar called “Paint with the Players”. Head coaches Tommy Dempsey and Nicole Scholl escorted their teams to the Magic Paintbrush Project on Monday, January 14.
