Ravens in the Community: Student-Athletes Pitch in at Special Olympics Event
RINDGE, N.H. (November 21, 2017) – On Saturday, 30 student-athletes from the Franklin Pierce University Department of Athletics spent time at Yankee Lanes in Keene, where they assisted with the Special Olympics State Bowling Tournament.
The Ravens were on-site to lend a hand with the management and execution of the event, which was hosted by Special Olympics New Hampshire. Field hockey sophomore Jessica Strassburg (Longmeadow, Mass.) served as the Ravens’ point person on the community-service effort and took charge of organizing volunteers.
In all, over 60 Special Olympics athletes took part in the event at Yankee Lanes. They had trained and practiced for the last 10 weeks prior to participating.
