PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Brown University's Alden-Rothenberg Cross Country Track & Field Coaching Chair Ken Hunt has announced a new team member, signing 10-year-old Evan Rose through Team IMPACT.
Evan, who has several medical conditions including epilepsy, was officially introduced at a signing day press conference on Saturday, December 3rd on campus. He will participate in many activities with the track & field team including competitions, practices, and other team events.
Team IMPACT, a national non-profit organization, has developed a unique multiyear program that matches children facing serious illness and disability with college athletic teams across the country. Based on a clinical model, Team IMPACT guides a symbiotic relationship between teams and children focused on socialization, empowerment, and resilience.
"Team IMPACT is excited to see Evan officially join the Bears," said Danielle Hardee, Regional Director of Programs, Northeast at Team IMPACT. "We are proud to work alongside Brown University, their athletic department, and coaching staff to create lifelong bonds and life-changing outcomes between student-athletes and their Team IMPACT teammates."
Brown University has worked with Team IMPACT for the past 11 years, matching 22 children across its men's and women's hockey, women's gymnastics, football, softball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's soccer, baseball, men's and women's lacrosse, men's tennis, track and field, water polo, and swimming teams.
"I absolutely love working with Evan," coach Hannah Chappell-Dick said. "He always has such a big smile and I think it's been really beneficial for our student-athletes to get outside the college bubble and see that the wider community has a lot to offer both to them and what it means to serve their community as well."
