UMaine swim teams participate in run to honor former member, BDN reports
The Bangor Daily News reported about 50 members of the University of Maine swim teams took part in the fourth annual Erin’s Run, A Race to End Domestic Violence. The 5K was created in honor of former UMaine student and swimmer Erin Woolley who passed away from cancer in 2010. Woolley worked for a year at Spruce Run, a domestic violence prevention center in Bangor, according to the article. Race proceeds go to Spruce Run and the The Erin M. Woolley Scholarship Fund, which annually supports an underclassman member of UMaine’s swimming and diving teams that best embodies Woolley’s dedication and spirit. About $40,000 has been raised by the event since it began, the article states.
