New Rochelle, N.Y. - On April 9, Iona College Athletics participated in Hands Across Iona, an annual event run by the Tara Knights Society to support the Christian Brothers and their work with communities in Africa. Over the past few years with the help of many students, faculty and administration, the Knights have impacted areas in El Doret, Sierra Leone and Kenya. Hands Around Iona has been raising money for these efforts for the past eight years, helping to raise more than $15,000. The money raised has been used to renovate schools and classrooms, as well as to help create waterwells to provide fresh drinking water.
