Dribble for the Cure UCLA post game reception
« on: February 08, 2012, 02:13:37 PM »
hey guys, Ive been a follower of the jungle for a while now but rarely post.  I am very involved in the Dribble for the Cure event that was held for the first time on St John's campus this past September.  The event raises money for THE Pediatric Cancer Research Fund and is endorsed and supported by the Men's and Women's basketball teams.  Linked at the bottom is a video that chronicled the event on redstormsports.com that includes speeches made by Kim Barnes Arrico, Coach Lav and myself.  We are kicking off the campaign for next years event now with a get together at Stoudt NYC (right accross from the garden) after the UCLA game on saturday february 18th.  I know its a little early but wanted to give you guys a heads up and I will bump this thread closer to the 18th.  Would love to see a bunch of you guys there.  There is a 20$ cover charge at the door but that will get you some free food inside the bar.  All the proceeds are going to fund pediatric cancer research.  For more information about Dribble for the cure visit dribbleforthecure.com/stjohns  Thanx guys, hope to see you there.

Great cause. I'm planning on attending and if I can't I'm still donating.

Thanx Dave. Dribble for the cure was featured on the newest episode of SNY's "redstorm report" which aired today.  How's that for timing! Haha

He spent several minutes talking to a few of us on his way out.  He looked great with loads of enthusiasm about this team and the future of the program.

Big day for St John's hoops.
