The Crespi lacrosse team is conducting a ‘Walk Like a Man’ Walk-A-Thon on Saturday to benefit women’s breast cancer research and testing. The event is the brainchild of Crespi Coach Jon Oswaks, whose former wife contracted the disease.
Registration starts at 7 a.m. at the school, located at 5031 Alonzo Ave. in Encino. The Walk-A-Thon begins at 8 a.m. and an awards ceremony and live entertainment start at noon.
The suggested donation is $15 for adults and $10 for those under 18 years old.
Niki Scalera, an actress from the Broadway musical Hairspray, will sing the national anthem to kick off the event. For more information, go to www.crespi.org.
