The Strength and Conditioning program at the College held their second annual Benching for Breast Cancer event on Dec. 10. Nearly 350 student athletes attended to raise approximately $2,000. This is how it worked: student athletes gathered a team of four, each person paid a fee of $10 plus any other donations they could solicit, and then they challenged themselves to see how much they could lift—oh yeah—all while wearing a costume. Madison Horl ’12, organizer of the event, hopes to open the event to the entire campus next year.
