"Boo Bash is one of my favorite events of the year. Our student-athletes and student organizations did a great job of interacting with the children who showed up in some very creative costumes and still managed to be active participants in the game booths. It is fun to see the smiles when the kids try a new sport or accomplish something they may never have done before." - Sarah Fraser, Deputy Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administrator
"The opportunity to see our students teaching the sports they love to Hamden youth or sharing in silly holiday-themed games is always inspiring and fun. This event would not have been possible without the leadership of Nicolette and Sydney. They organized, led, and directed our 200+ student-athlete volunteers with grace and poise to make the event a huge success!" - Casey Stark, Assistant Athletic Director
