Be The Match at Middlebury
Last Wednesday, May 3, the Middlebury football and field hockey teams ran a “Be The Match” event on campus. The first time football held the event in 2022, they registered over 500 students and won ‘Rookie of the Year,’ an award given to the Division 3 school with the most registrations in its first Be the Match Event. This year they joined forces with field hockey in an effort to repeat this success. Be The Match is a vital cause as it helps save the lives of people with life-threatening blood cancer. I chose to volunteer because I found that this organization provides an exceptional opportunity for individuals to make a significant impact on someone’s life. I think it is important that this event continues in future years and that athletics teams at Middlebury continue to use their platforms to promote this type of positive change.
