Bruni Named to SEC Community Service Team

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference announced Wednesday afternoon that senior forward Tina Bruni was one of 14 soccer student-athletes selected to the Community Service Team.

The SEC sponsors Community Service Teams for all 22 league-sponsored sports. The Community Service Team looks to highlight an athlete from each school who gives back to their community in superior service efforts

As a member of the Student‐Athlete Advisory Committee, Bruni is active in both her and her teammates’ success on and off the field. She participated in a team volunteer initiative with Habitat for Humanity during the spring of 2022.

In 2023, Bruni organized for the entire team to support Feed the Children. As a SAAC member, she was instrumental in initiatives including organizing holiday parties with Nashville Elementary Schools.

Additionally, Bruni is an integral part of Vandy soccer’s Dancing Dores team. Dancing Dores is the Vanderbilt Athletics arm of Vanderbilt University Dance Marathon, a national philanthropic organization to raise money and awareness for pediatric hospitals on a local level. Bruni has donated her time with Dancing Dores through philanthropic efforts, family and patient affairs, as well as team leadership.

While interning in New York City during the summer of 2023, Bruni also volunteered with BBH Cares, where she spent the day in a warehouse packaging food. While traveling with the team to South Africa, Bruni participated in multiple clinics in different communities throughout Cape Town.

This month, Bruni is involved in several activities including participating in a trick-or-treat event hosted at Vanderbilt for children in the greater Nashville metro area.

Bruni was also named to the SEC Community Service Team in 2022.
