Throughout the entire month of October, the Adelphi Athletics department participated in Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The month-long event was kicked off with a BCA walk at the Center for Recreation and Sport while being promoted at home games, in the University Center, during Midnight Madness and also during Family Weekend
 
While supporting the cause for five straight years, the department began working with the hotline in response to a diagnosis of breast cancer for Jennifer Montgomery, the wife of former men's soccer coach Bob Montgomery. In an effort to assist her and raise awareness, Athletics partnered with the hotline.
 
During the month, Athletics did their part by selling BCA items such as plastic mugs, hats, key chains, shirts, umbrellas, lunch totes, chapstick and wristbands. In addition, raffle prizes were donated by all of the athletic teams as well as different departments around campus and local businesses.
 
Yesterday, the department drew the winning tickets in the raffle drawings which included the six grand prize winners. A complete list of winners can be found here. This year, the campaign brought in just over $3,500 which brings the five year total to over $24,500 raised for the hotline.
