Wesleyan athletes honor local heroes on
September 11th
Rocky Mount, NC - September 11th is a time for
remembering our fallen heroes from New York to
Pennsylvania to Washington, D.C. It is also a
time to recognize those local heroes that risk
their lives daily to insure the safety of our
Rocky Mount community.
For this reason, the student-athletes of North
Carolina Wesleyan will honor our local policemen
and firefighters by distributing game passes to
all Battling Bishop sporting events. The passes,
which are good for up to four people, are being
delivered to ten area stations by Wesleyan
student-athletes and coaches.
This marks the fourth consecutive season that
the Bishops have honored the tragedy of
September 11th, 2001 by distributing these
passes, which serve as a small token of our
gratitude for our local law enforcement.
Pictured left are several Bishop
student-athletes making their deliveries to area
stations.
