In May 2008, Simmons will celebrate 30 years of Crew. To honor this milestone and to recognize three decades of accomplishments the College has launched a mini-campaign to raise $30,000 for a new boat for the crew team.
The Simmons Crew team is strong. Last October Simmons crew won the silver medal at the Head of the Charles Regatta, claiming second place among a field of 34 schools. The team also captured the gold and silver medals at the 2007 Textile Regatta. And the Simmons community collectively celebrated when Wendy Campanella '96 earned a prestigious place on the 2007 National Rowing Team.
Athletics plays an important role in the lives of many of our students. Simmons Athletes approach their sports as much more than an extracurricular activity; they experience the practices of leadership firsthand. Sports develops our students' abilities to work within teams, meet goals, manage criticism, and setbacks and be flexible.
Please join me in honoring our Simmons Athletes by making a gift online at alumnet.simmons.edu/giving
You may designate your gift for Friends of Athletics or Crew 30th anniversary campaign. Your support assists us in providing students with a highly competitive athletics program centered on student leadership development.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ali Kantor, Director of Athletics
