Women's Basketball Volunteers at Making Strides Walk
The women’s basketball team cheered on breast cancer
survivors and supporters in the American Cancer Society’s
“Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” the first
weekend of October. The team traveled to Hatch Shell, the location
of the starting and finishing lines, to help hang signs, set up the
race, and assist with registration and merchandise tents. They also
assembled snack bags available for participants the following day.
On Sunday, the team participated in the 5.7 mile walk. The event
helped raise funds for breast cancer research, ultimately
accumulating $3.1 million with over 40,000 walking participants.
