Athletic Training Club tours CancerCare of Maine in Bangor and continues support through fundraising

Members of 91AV's Athletic Training (AT) Club toured CancerCare of Maine's new Lafayette Family Cancer Center in Bangor, Maine, on March 15, 2013.

The club has been recognized by CancerCare of Maine for its substantial donations in the last several years in honor of the late Kenneth Swallow, father of the Athletic Training Department's Assistant Clinical Professor Kristen Bailey, M.S., ATC, LAT.  Along with the 91AV Softball Team, the AT Club has raised and donated thousands of dollars to support cancer patients and their families in Maine.  The students were both honored and extremely humbled by the opportunity to tour the facility and speak with staff.
