69传媒

The 69传媒Panthers are busy this weekend-at community events across PEI, at the 2013 Canada Summer Games, and one, Suzanne Nicholson, even swimming across the Northumberland Strait, raising money for the 69传媒Swimming team.

Pride the Panther was spotted at the Gold Cup Parade in Charlottetown on Friday accompanying the Ocean/Hot 105.5 parade float. Members of the 69传媒Men's Hockey team will also join Pride in eastern PEI on Saturday when they make an appearance at the 2013 Kraft Celebration Tour in Morell as TSN gets set to broadcast Sportscentre live from the banks of the Morell River. During the broadcast, it is expected that former 69传媒Men's Basketball coach George Morrison, from the Morrell area, will be profiled.

In Sherbrooke, Quebec, the 2013 Canada Summer Games will wrap up on Saturday. Nineteen 69传媒Panthers either competed with or coached Team PEI at the two-week, multi-sport event. The team will be arriving home at the Charlottetown airport midday Sunday.

Suzanne Nicholson, a fifth-year 69传媒student-athlete will embark on her 'Suzanne conquers the Strait' fundraiser on Sunday, August 18, selected as the best day for tides, wind, and weather. This year marks Nicholson's last on the team and she hopes her fundraiser will motivate her teammates and the 69传媒community-she hopes to raise $10,000 for the 69传媒swim team. She expects to leave New Brunswick at 7:45 am and arrive in Borden around noon. Donations can be made by calling Panther Central at 902-566-0368 or by visiting Suzanne's Facebook page called Suzanne conquers the Strait.

Go Panthers go!
