Pictured above, Phil Bedard, Megan Czachor, Katharine Dixon, and Itunu Ademoyo, members of Fordham’s Circle K service organization, celebrate their completion of the race.

The Fordham students were accompanied by Rosemary DeJulio, Ph.D., and Gabelli School staff adviser Susan Brucculeri, two members of Fordham Kiwanis who sponsor Circle K service projects at Murray Weigel Hall and the Rose Hill Apartments.

Fordham representatives helped the event raise over $450,000.
