Field Hockey sponsors Walk 4 Haiti

At this past January 2010 All-Student Athlete meeting, the Wheelock College student-athletes en masse, voted to take forward the Wildcats Walk For Haiti. The idea came out of a brainstorming session of the newly re-elected/appointed field hockey captains for Fall 2010. Since then, two appointed captains have engaged the team to brainstorm, create design, research, and make calls to create the framework for this event.

Yesterday, at a kickoff meeting with representatives from various parts of the College, the pieces were reviewed and received with enthusiasm.

What the field hockey team decided as values for this past Fall were the intent around trust, accountability, and determination - words based in the foundation of what it means to create that possible in impossible. It is through this that we invite you, our Wheelock College community to come out to walk whether it be in teams or as individuals. We invite you, your family, your friends to be in possibility with us as we take a community walk and turn a tragedy into an opportunity.
