Marist College is the winner of the 2014-2015 MAAC Goodworks Challenge. The
Red Foxes athletic administrators, student-athletes, coaches, and Student-Athlete
Advisory Committee took part in 54 community service events and earned over
6,300 points this academic year. As a result of winning this year’s challenge, Marist
College has received a $1,000 donation, which will be made to the Miles of Hope
Breast Cancer Foundation. The Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation was es-
tablished to fund support services for people fighting breast cancer in the Hudson
Valley. The Foundation was started by Dana Effron and Cathy Varunok, two com-
munity activists who saw a need for increased services for people with breast cancer.
For years, Dana and Cathy raised money for national breast cancer organizations but
in 2004 they decided to focus their fundraising efforts on helping their friends and
neighbors in the eight counties of the Hudson Valley, New York. The Foundation’s
Executive Director is Pari Forood.
