BROOKLINE, Mass.--The Newbury College
Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC)
volunteered their time at the 20th annual Boston
Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk on Sunday, September 21, 2008.
Thousands of walkers participated in the event and raised more than
$6 million. Whether the participants logged 26.2, 13.1, or 5
miles; the water, snacks, and cheers they encountered at the final
Water Stop before the Copley Square finish were outstanding
motivation for the home stretch.
This marked Newbury's second year volunteering at the Walk and
supporting the fight against cancer. Part of the
Nighthawk SAAC mission is to service the community; and based on
the smiles on the faces of the walkers, they did just
that.
Seventeen Nighthawk student-athletes, representing 8 of Newbury's
varsity programs; and 3 members of Newbury's Coaching Staff took
part in the day's festivities -
