The Pioneers dedication to the association's five core values was showcased through their involvement in Havencroft Elementary's Hawks in Harmony Event. This initiative exemplified the core values of respect and responsibility, as MNU athletes organized and conducted engaging activities for young children and their families, fostering a sense of community while embodying the essence of the NAIA's character ideals.
