In its first class of athletes announced last spring, Hoosiers For Good partnered former IU football player Tiawan Mullen with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington. Jeff Baldwin, Executive Director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington, shared how impactful it was having Mullen spend time with the kids at the clubs during his yearlong partnership.
“The more good people you have in your life who are projecting and showing you the right pathway, the better for you,” said Baldwin. “To have somebody like Tiawan allows us to have greater success with providing for our kids and get them down the pathway that we need them.”
