On Saturday, September 22nd, 2001 the Villanova rowing team completed their community service for the 2001-02 year as they took part in the First Annual Run For the Kids, part of National Cancer Awareness Week. Organized by the Committee to Benefit the Children of St. Christopher's Hospital in Philadelphia, the 10K run and three mile walk started at the southwest corner of the Philadelphia Art Museum, continued along West River Drive.

Sponsored by La Salle College High School and Mount St. Joseph Academy, the race benefits children surviving cancer, leukemia and blood disorders, providing a chance for them to realize their true academic potential.

The rowing team volunteered their time to help with registration, at water stands throughout the course of the race, at the finish line and helped to tally results.

Congratulations to the Wildcat rowing team on a job well done!
