NEW ROCHELLE, NY – Iona College's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is hosting the fifth annual Lift-O-Ween fundraising event. The student-athletes, in conjunction with the strength & conditioning staff, will be raising awareness and fundraising money for the Gullotta House over the course of the final week of October, culminating on Halloween.
The Gullotta House is a non-profit organization funded by Matthew Gullotta, whose purpose is aiding residents of Westchester County who face financial or other hardships. The Gullotta House provides food vouchers, scholarships to aid with the payment for education, holiday assistance, hosts outings and community entertainment events and by aiding community origination by providing additional assistance to their clients and participants.
Student-athletes will embrace the Halloween spirit and dress up in costumes while working out together as a team. Obeying all social distancing guidelines under the eyes of head strength & conditioning coach
Kelly Shaver, each program will engage on social media with the purpose of encouraging their cohorts and Gael Nation to support the Gullotta House.
Each of the past two years, the Maroon & Gold raised over 2,000 dollars for the Gullotta House through the efforts of Gael Nation and Iona SAAC.
