BOSTON - The rivalry between Boston College and Boston University hit the ice again on Friday, July 10, for the First Annual Comm Ave Charity Classic. The longtime rivals faced off in front of a raucous crowd at Walter Brown Arena on Boston University’s campus.
The event raised more than $55,000, with all proceeds benefiting Compassionate Care ALS, in honor of Ron Perryman, Pete Frates, Dick Kelley and all those affects by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
The concept for the Comm Ave Charity Classic began in late 2014 when former Boston College Eagles’ hockey captain, Pat Mullane ‘13, was inspired by Kelley, BC’s own Sports Information Director, and his notable fight against ALS.
