SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- SU football Coach Doug Marrone knows how to recruit guys for his team, but how about recruiting guys for a good cause?
On Monday, the Vera House Foundation announced Marrone would be its Honorary Chair of the 16th Annual White Ribbon Campaign. The campaign is led by concerned men who wish to raise awareness and funds to stop domestic and sexual violence.
One way they do so is by wearing a white ribbon during the 10-day campaign. The ribbon acts as a personal statement to never support, commit or remain silent about abuse.
"I am very honored to be here today. I will be here today and in the future for the Vera House and I appreciate what they do for this community and it's meant so much to me. And all I want to do my part," Marrone said.
Coach Marrone says he will be educating his team about the program and will encourage them to get involved in the community.
