 TRIBUTE TO BRONX COMMUNITY COLLEGE ON ITS SILVER ANNIVERSARY HALL OF 
                              FAME 10K RUN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOSE E. SERRANO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 1, 2003

  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, it is with joy that I rise today to once 
again pay tribute to Bronx Community College, which will hold its 25th 
Anniversary Hall of Fame 10K Run on Saturday, May 3, 2003.
  The Hall of Fame 10K Run was founded in 1978 by Bronx Community 
College's third president, Dr. Roscoe C. Brown and today continues to 
be an event of great significance. Its mission is to highlight the Hall 
of Fame for Great Americans, a national institution dedicated to those 
who have helped to make America great.
  The 10K race tradition continues under the stewardship of Dr. Carolyn 
G. Williams. Dr. Williams has endorsed and follows the commitment made 
by Dr. Brown to promote physical fitness and highlight higher 
education.
  As one who has run the Hall of Fame 10K Run, I can attest that the 
excitement it generates brings the entire City together. It is a 
celebration and an affirmation of life. It feels wonderful to enable 
more than 400 people to have this experience--one that will change the 
lives of many of them. It is an honor for me to join once again the 
hundreds of joyful people who will run along the Grand Concourse,

University Avenue and West 181 Street and to savor the variety of their 
celebrations. There is no better way to see our Bronx community.
  The Annual Hall of Fame 10K Run is joined by a 2 Mile Fitness Walk 
and, for the second year, a Hall of Fame Excalibur One Mile Boys and 
Girls Youth Challenge for 9 to 18 years olds.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the 
individuals and participants who are making the Bronx Community 
College's 25th Annual Hall of Fame 10K run possible.
