MAAC Goodworks Challenge Standings
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 established to fund support services
for people fighting breast cancer in the Hudson Valley. The Foundation was started by
Dana Effron and Cathy Varunok, two community 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 Executi
ve Director is Pari Forood.
