World Wide Communicators, the Walkathon winning team.

More than 50 teams, representing 700 walkers, participated in Kingsborough Community College (KCC) 2^nd annual walkathon on November 9.  The highly anticipated walkathon raised more than $30,000 for student scholarships, more than a 30% increase over last’s year’s walkathon.

         “I thank all of you who walked, worked, bought and ate to make this accomplishment a reality,” said Kingsborough President Regina Peruggi.  “Congratulations to all of you who turned out for our brisk jaunt around the campus.  Not only did the turn-out show our great KCC spirit, but some of the team costumes displayed great creativity.”
