Team Impact connects those children with college sports teams to provide bonds of emotional support and positive lasting memories. More than 100 students athletes and coaches from Boston College participated in Sunday's events.

"This is honestly what being a college athlete is all about. It's about how you can use your athletic experience and the opportunity and blessing that it is to be part of the university like this to benefit and impact others," said Team Impact fellow and BC athlete, Annabelle Hasselbeck.

Some of the fun activities at the field day included a bouncy house and Kona ice.
