NEW YORK, N.Y. - Last fall, sophomore Julie Patenaude of Canaan, Vt., President Karen Gross, athletic department special advisor Matt Couloute and men's and women's volleyball coach Angia Hillman attended the 2007 Annual Salute to Girls and Women in Sports at the Wardolf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. Patenaude is a member of the SVC women's basketball team and cross country team.

More than 60 top athletes and celebrities, including Academy Award-winner Holly Hunter and boxer Laila Ali, gathered to celebrate the achievements of girls and women in sports.

The event raised more than 1.5 million that will be turned into grants and advocacy-related programming.

Michelle Kwan, the most decorated figure skater in U.S. history, was recognized for her significant contribution to the Women's Sports Foundation and to the development and advancement of women's sports.

Founded in 1974 by Billie Jean King, the Women's Sports Foundation is a charitable educational organization dedicated to advancing the lives of girls and women through sports and physical activity.
