Top Honors for TeamMBA in Philly Livestrong Challenge
On Saturday, August 23, TeamMBA was honored with the Team Champion Award as the top fundraising team in the Philadelphia Livestrong Challenge event. The Livestrong Challenge series of cycling, running and walking events is the signature fundraising activity for the Lance Armstrong Foundation for cancer research and awareness. TeamMBA raised over $65,000 in this event.
