The varsity and junior varsity players and respective coaches sought out donations, sold baked goods and commemorative t-shirts, and had a raffle all in support of an excellent cause.



Both teams as well as coaches Stanford, LoRusso, O'Rourke and Richards were committed to the cause and thrilled to be able to successfully "pay it forward".

As a result of their commitment, the team won the $250 attendance incentive award for the race. When notified of the award, Coach Driscoll,  after a conference with all involved, responded by saying, "All of the athletes from the Tappan Zee Boys and Girls Cross Country teams really enjoyed participating in the 5k," Coach Driscoll said, "We would definitely like to make this a yearly tradition with our team."
