RONKONKOMA, NYÂ (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) - The SUNY College at Old Westbury softball team again took its talent to the hardwood on February 22 to participate in the Valentine's Zumba "How Do I Love Thee, Let Me Count the Ways" for the American Heart Association held at the Roseland School of Dance in Ronkonkoma, New York. The event generated over $600 which was donated to the American Heart Association.
The Panthers most recently participated in Roseland School of Dance's Zumbathon on October 19, in an event that honored dance school owner Ms. Rose who at the time was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. That event generated $1,500 for the American Cancer Society, making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk and the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer.
Head coach
