ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Members of the Nazareth College Student Athlete Advisory Committee were on hand Monday afternoon to present a sizable donation to the Golisano Children's Hospital at Strong.

A check for $10,485 was presented on behalf of Nazareth's athletic department to Karen Eisenberg, associate director of development for the Golisano Children's Hospital.

Nazareth student-athletes were able to raise money through two significant fundraising events. The Battle of the Beaks, featuring Nazareth's men's and women's basketball teams in action versus rival St. John Fisher Jan. 15, was the first event. The second was a student-athlete semi-formal held in the Kidera Gymnasium Feb. 16.

"We are proud of the way our student-athletes aggressively worked toward raising the money," said Nazareth Athletic Director Pete Bothner. "I can't think of a more worthy cause."
