PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Brown football program is once again set to host an annual event for a good cause. The 21st annual Bench Press for Cancer is set to take place on Monday, November 3 on the University's Main Green from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event was originaly scheduled for October 20, but was postponed due to weather.
Brown football has hosted the event annually now for over two decades, starting back in 2004 to raise funds for team captain Lawrence Rubida '05, who had been diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma. Despite Lawrence's passing in 2005, his former teammates and those who followed have lived by his "never quit" mentality and carried on the event in his memory.
Since its inception, BP4C has raised over $200,000, with all of the proceeds going directly to the Cancer Survivorship Programs at The Miriam Hospital in Providence. Donations can be made at the event on October 20 and online leading up to the event.
