| The Welles Remy Crowther
Red Bandanna Run is a 5K road race held as an annual tribute to a 9/11
hero. The race is co-sponsored by the Boston College Volunteer and Service
Learning Center and the Welles Remy Crowther Charitable Trust. The day
is designed to bring all levels of runners (and walkers!) together to
have fun and raise funds for the Welles Remy Crowther Charitable Trust.
Welles Crowther was an equity trader in the South Tower on September 11. When the attacks on the World Trade Center began, Welles was no longer an equities trader. He became a firefighter. Months after the attacks, piecing together stories of the events Welles' heroic acts came to light. Welles Crowther used the last hour of his life to save the lives of others using a red bandanna to cover his nose and mouth as protection against smoke and debris. The Welles Remy Crowther Charitable Trust was established by the Crowther family to honor and keep their son's memory alive through good works benefitting young people. The Trust supports other not for profit organizations that benefit young people through annual gifts and special awards. |
