Boca Raton, FL –-The Owl Collective, a local non-profit that helps student-athletes navigate their NIL ( Name, Image, Likeness) experience, held a food drive to benefit Boca Helping Hands (BHH). The food drive was held in partnership with Johnell Davis, a Florida Atlantic University (FAU) basketball team star, and other FAU athletes, including members of the basketball team, on April 29th at the Peter Blum YMCA of Boca.
