Ithaca Men's Track & Field Team To Hold Lifting Benefit
ITHACA, N.Y. -- The Ithaca men’s track & field team will hold a Lift-a-Thon to raise money for Michaela Bushey, an Ithaca College student who suffered a spinal cord injury that left her partially paralyzed. All participating team members will perform a maximum squat and bench press and total weight lifted by the team will be calculated, with pledges being accepted either per pound lifted by the team or in flat donations. All money raised will go directly to Michaela and her family to help defer the cost of treatment. For more information about donating toward this cause, please contact head coach Jim Nichols at jnichols@ithaca.edu
