BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The first event of the year organized by the St. Joseph’s College (Brooklyn) Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) was a huge success as over 50 student-athletes turned out to join the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Brooklyn Walk on Sunday, October 15th.
“Seeing so many members of our teams come together and support this tremendous organization was very special,” commented Director of Athletics and Recreation James Lally. “Everyone involved in this event saw the power that comes with uniting people around a cause. That is what it means to be a student-athlete and teammate, and that is what it takes to fight cancer; unity around a purpose.”
The student-athletes joined over 25,000 participants for the event that began at MCU Park and circled around Coney Island. Among the many people they met along the 5-kilometer stroll was NYC mayoral candidate Nicole Malliotakis, who also posted a photo with the Bears on her twitter.
