WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - The William and Mary baseball and lacrosse teams recently spent a day volunteering with the 2007 Start! Richmond Heart Walk, an annual event held at the Richmond International Raceway that benefits the American Heart Association.

Tribe players assisted with the event in various capacities, including working the Kids Corner area, the VIP and leadership tents, parking services and handing out water.

“The William and Mary players were instrumental with the logistics of the Richmond Heart Walk and making the day a wonderful event,” said Julie Taylor, Senior Director of Corporate Relations for the Richmond Heart Walk. “They handled themselves with poise and professionalism, and all the participants loved interacting with them. I cannot stress enough how important they were to making our event a success.”

The Heart Walk is one of the nation’s premier walking events, and it serves to raise money and awareness about cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
