MUSTANG SOFTBALL VOLUNTEERS AT BRIAN HONAN 5K


The Mount Ida College softball team and over 100 Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) student-athletes volunteered at the Brian Honan 5K in Allston, Massachusetts this past  Sunday, September 20th, 2009. GNAC student-athletes have volunteered over the past six years, directing people to the parking lots, registering the 1000 runners, cutting oranges, carrying ice and handing out water along the three mile route.

It was a wonderful opportunity for Mustang softball to help in the operation in the Brian Honan 5K along with other student-athletes from around the conference," said Mount Ida softball Assistant Coach Kelly Stanton.  "It was a great chance for our players to aid in such a wonderful event and hope we can help again in future races." 

The Brian J. Honan Charitable Fund was established to carry on Brian's commitment to the causes that he championed throughout the course of his life. Money raised through the Brian J. Honan 5K Road race benefits the Scholarship funds of the Allston Board of Trade and the Brighton Board of Trade. The Race also benefits the Honan family's charitable fund.

With funds raised from the Brian J. Honan 5K the Charitable Fund has been able to aid and foster local and national programs that support education, recreation, housing and healthcare.
