HERKIMER, N.Y. —
Herkimer County Community College partnered with the American Red Cross to collect donations for victims of Hurricane Sandy during the NJCAA’s Division III men’s national championship tournament.
A total of $767.53 was raised for the Red Cross’ Hurricane Sandy Response Fund. Three of the eight teams participating in the tournament — Long Island’s Suffolk County Community College and New Jersey’s Brookdale Community College and Ocean County College — were directly affected by the storm.
“We appreciated the opportunity to present ourselves to the public and to collect some funds at the same time,” said Jeff Parker, ombudsman and volunteer coordinator for the American Red Cross Mohawk Valley Chapter “I was especially moved by the opportunity to speak directly with some of the victims of the Hurricane and offer my support to them.”
