Many Moving Moments at AMP1 Challenge

One of many moving moments at the AMP1-BW basketball event last night, came as Ifedimma Nwankwo '16, a BW student who is profoundly deaf, sang and signed the national anthem with students and faculty joining in at the end (video linked above courtesy Marianne Mangen). Ifedimma was an inspiration, as were the stand-up amputees who played basketball, the wheelchair players who performed at half-time and more.

See, hear and read more about this event, including quotes from BW sports management major and basketball player, Megan Frisina, '13 who helped to organize the fundraiser, at this WEWS-TV news link.
