About 90 members of the Hamilton community participated in the annual America’s Greatest Heart Run & Walk on Saturday, March 5, at Utica College. Although donations are still being counted it’s estimated that Team Hamilton raised approximately $5700. These volunteers were among the 8444 total participants who walked or ran between three and five miles.
The Heart Run and Walk raises money and awareness for the American Heart Association and its fight against heart disease and stroke. Hamilton has fielded a team for many years. Participants included athletic teams, student organizations, Hamilton staff and faculty.
Team captains were faculty members Erin Glaser (physical education), John O'Neal ( French), Colleen Pellman (music), and Ernest Williams (biology).
