Bulldogs Booster 5K Run/Walk This Saturday

Friday, 20 April 2012 00:00

This Saturday, April 21, the Bulldogs Booster Association will hold its first 5K run/walk event. The walk will begin and end at Roslyn High School, following a course through the Village of Roslyn.

The race honors the memory of Greg Fried, a beloved Roslyn track and field coach.

The Roslyn Bulldogs Booster Association (RBBA) is a tax exempt, not-for-profit organization that supports the spirit and athletic programs of the Roslyn School District. The RBBA is entirely comprised of volunteer parents who support these programs through fundraising initiatives and donation of time. RBBA strives to ensure that the best athletic and physical education programs and facilities are available to all students, in an effort to enhance pride in the community and the students’ athletic experience. To date, the RBBS has donated almost $500,000 to the district including $25,000 in student scholarships. Its initiatives have included the development of the high school field turf and entrance complex, the establishment of a Wall of Fame and the sponsorship of many special events and clinics. The latest project is the rebuilding of the field house/locker room at Roslyn High School.

Greg Fried was an outstanding teacher, track and cross country coach from Roslyn High School, and the Manhasset and Wheatley schools for over 40 years. He passed away from ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) in November, 2010. His students, athletes and peer coaches were a huge part of his life. They all brought him joy and satisfaction from their personal and athletic growth through hard work and dedication.
