A scene from the Southern Tier Heart WalkSUNY Broome is a Children’s Health Challenge Winner!

To qualify for the designation from the American Heart Association, the college pledged to raise $2,500 more for the Southern Tier Heart Walk in 2018 than in the previous year. Challenge accepted, challenge completed: The SUNY Broome team raised $6,486 in 2018, up from $3,320 in 2017.

As a result, BC Center — the campus preschool — will receive a “recess pack” full of bats, balls, jump ropes and other sports activities to give them a head start on a healthy lifestyle.

Congratulations, all!
