At the beginning of the Harvard-Boston College matchup, the Eagles will be donating $500 to the Central New England Chapter of the MS Society.
The Eagles will be donating their time and energy to raising money for the cause. In April, members of the BC program will be walking in the MS Life Lines Walk to contribute to the National MS Society. The walk begins at Harvard University Athletic Complex.
Fans will be able to purchase red MS bracelets to aid in the fundraising effort at Wednesday's game and at the ACC Tournament, which will be hosted by Boston College. BC will also be handing out give-aways at the game.
