Gotta love a great story around the holidays. Heck, gotta love great stories any time during the year. Especially when it is this story.

Here's to the Syracuse University men's basketball program and a really cool organization called Friends of Jaclyn for making a difference. '' (I know Syracuse University is not exactly NYC, but the school likes to say that it is NYC's college team. And well, this story and organization are good anywhere.)

Friends of Jaclyn matches up children with pediatric brains tumors with a college or high school sports team. The match is all about 'love, support, and friendship'.

Check out this story about Nicholas Trivelpiece and the Orange men's hoops team.

Thanks Friends of Jaclyn and Syracuse University for making a difference. And thank you to Nicholas for being an inspiration to us all.
