They were also in charge of music at each of the 5 stops, they directed participants to observe the "historic" posters, stamp the passport of each participant that reads the poster. Duties included working at the water stations, distributing water to participants, and to ensure the area around the water station was clean and safe.

Governor State University Head Women's Basketball Coach Tonishea Mack talked about her team and the community service work. "It is always good to see our athletes giving time back to our own community. This one was special to me because this is the area I grew up and went to high school. We have a great community, and we want to support them as much as we want them to support us. Gov State WBB had a blast mingling and encouraging other volunteers and the participants with high enthusiastic and positive energy. I believe it contributed to the overall success of the event. The players were attentive and proactive which brought a fun environment for everyone to be a part of," said Coach TMack.
