Eagles went on to an exciting 2006-07 season, BC finished with a 13-16 record.
Brown led the team to it's
first victory of the 2007-08 season, scoring a record high 21 points with 10 rebounds. The 21-12 Lady Eagles went on to make
the third round of the Women's National Invitational Tournament. For the season, Brown averaged 7.3 points with a total
of 240 and shot a .390 percentage for field goals.
Brown has been recognized for her basketball talents
by Sports Illustrated magazine, as she was featured as the magazine's "Intern of the Week" in June
2008 and has been profiled by New England Sports Network for its staple program SportsDesk.
Proceeds benefitCommunity VNA Hospice Care Community VNA Hospice Care is a certified program established in 1983
to provide specialized care for those facing any type of life limiting illness. We have decades of experience and are committed
to bringing the finest in skilled, compassionate end of life care to patients living in the Greater Attleboro area, which
includes the communities of Attleboro, Easton. Foxboro, Franklin, Mansfield, North Attleboro, Norton, Plainville, Rehoboth,
Seekonk, Wrentham and others upon request. As a not-for-profit agency, our charitable mission ensures that we will
turn no one away for lack of insurance, insufficient insurance or an inability to pay.
Funds raised through the Race
are used for uncompensated hospice care (for those patients with no insurance and for those whose insurance does not cover
all the services needed). The majority of our hospice patients are covered by insurance that pays a per-day flat rate, regardless
of the level of care a particular patient requires. Some patients need extra care or special pain meds or other symptom control
therapies that are beyond the flat daily rate but we have to be able to supply that level of care, regardless of expenses.
Donations to Community VNA Hospice Care are used to help meet those extraordinary needs and allow us to accept all patients regardless of insurance or reimbursement.
