Seekonk native and Worcester State University guard, Michel’le St. Pierre, was announced today as a nominee for the 2014 Allstate WBCA Good Works Team®.

For the second year, Allstate and the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) are recognizing a select group of women’s college basketball student-athletes who stand out for their charitable achievements and community involvement.

Reading books to grade school students at Worcester Community Reading Day;

Visiting a local 6th grade girl, who is battling a rare childhood cancer (that St. Pierre has taken under her wing) in the hospital, supporting her doing chemo, connecting with her on social media and participating in the family’s fund-raisers; and

Serving in the Army National Guard and has been activated for five natural disasters and provides emergency services during the past 3 years, including this year’s Boston Marathon Bombing.
