ESPN's The Man in the Red Bandanna tells the story of Boston College alumni, Welles Crowther, who tragically lost his life while making heroic efforts during the 9/11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center. Westwood football will honor his legacy and all those who lost their lives that day by supportingt the Welles Crowther Charitable Trust this fall at our 9/15 home game vs. Pascack Hills with the sale of red bandanas.  Hills will join us with the sale of orange bandandas at their school as well. All proceeds will be donated to the Welles Crowther Charitable Trust which recognizes and awards academic and athletic excellence in young men and women who serve their communities through education, health, recreation and character development. The Trust supports other not-for-profit organizations that benefit young people through annual gifts and special awards.
