They also coordinate a shoebox wrapping party in which all athletic teams are invited to participate in wrapping over 200 Christmas gift boxes for Franklin Graham's Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child.

In the spring, the Diamond Belles will participate in DBU's Spring Sing variety show and serve as hostess at the annual baseball banquet. The Belles are looking forward to the many service opportunities. The Diamond Belles will be also support the Patriot Athletic Teams by managing the Patriot concession stand, assisting in the press box, maintaining ticket sales for all Patriot home games.

“What a great opportunity the Diamond Belles have as devoted Christian women to serve the DBU family and athletic programs by promoting overall school spirit and athletic involvement,” the coordinator of Diamond Belles said. “We are very excited to be an active part in leading the DBU campus by enhancing the athletic experience.”
