Photo by : Samantha Ferrara With a mom who was a basketball coach, Clare Berenato was obviously drawn to the sport and played to a pretty high level Seton Hill University in Pennsylvania. Over the years, the student/athlete came to understand that basketball serves as pretty good teacher in areas like communication, teamwork, and building community. So when the Women's Basketball Director of Administration at Fordham got the chance to volunteer for a nonprofit called Play BOLD and take part in building a basketball court for marginalized girls in Eswatini (Swaziland), the decision was an easy slam dunk.
