They may have different callings and be at different stages in their careers, and they may have different life experiences. But Jushawn Rucker and David DiPasquale have something in common: they share a passion for public service.

Rucker is a school security officer, while DiPasquale is an athletic trainer. They both work for the Rochester City School District in western New York.

On Dec. 20, they were working a junior varsity basketball game at one of the schools in the district when a 15-year-old player collapsed.

“I was in another area of the school,” Rucker recalls. “I was helping people scan their tickets, making sure nobody had weapons on them. Then another safety officer who knew I was trained in emergency medical services approached me and told me there was a kid that was laid out on the floor and needed help.”
