Our 2013 New Years Resolutions

As Wikipedia states, “A New Year’s resolution is a commitment that a person makes to one or more personal goals, projects, or the reforming of a habit”. Sounds a lot like our motto for HuskyTHON right?! This year the HuskyTHON Management team has decided to set our own New Year’s Resolutions. From day one we have been setting long-term and short-term goals for ourselves and what we want this year’s HuskyTHON to be like, and as we turn the page of our calendar to January 1st we can see that HuskyTHON is only a little over six weeks away! To inspire you, we have decided to share some of these resolutions and hope that you too will make a New Year’s resolution to go above and beyond what you did last year, become a dancer, learn the morale dance, and help one more child than we could last year.

For the kids.

2013

Lauren Hagerty Social Media
“My New Year’s Resolution is to get 2,000 followers on the @HuskyTHON Twitter by February 17th!”

Katie Pape Vice President of Community Relations
“My HuskyTHON New Year’s Resolution is to do everything in my power to make HuskyTHON 2013 the most successful one thus far and to exceed my past personal fundraising efforts.”

Lauren Cunningham Alumni Relations
“My HuskyTHON Resolution is to cherish every child I come in contact with, whether it is at CCMC game nights, volunteering for Big Brothers Big Sisters, or otherwise. Children continue to inspire me and at college it can be tough to remember that when you’re caught up in everything else going on!”

Lindsay Rauch Morale
“My HuskyTHON resolution is to have more people than ever participating at HuskyTHON, to have EVERYONE in the field house know the morale dance by 12 pm on February 17th, and to blow away the total from last year!”

Alex Addabbo Vice President of Recruitment
“My HuskyTHON resolution is to raise $2,000 FTK!”

Emily Collins Creative

Kenzi Tedeschi Co-Executive Director
“My New Year’s resolution for this year is to be there for the Management Team and to support them in any way that I can and to not stress about the little things (or even the big things). My goal is to stay positive and to continue making miracles =)”

Ariana Giacco Vice President of Operations
“My New Year’s Resolution would be to have the night of run smoothly from an Operations standpoint. And more broadly to remember that everything we do for HuskyTHON is for the kids and any help that we can provide is making a difference in their lives.”

Chelsea Woicekowski Canning
“My resolution is to “personally raise over $500 dollars for HuskyTHON””

Ricky Holtz Dancer Relations
“My honest ones would be silly, like “Have a prime number of dancers on the night of HuskyTHON”, and… See? It’s just not great. Ultimately, I think my goal is to do my best to live up to what Meg and I have been talking about all year – we say that HuskyTHON is this inspiring, rewarding, fun event, and I know that it will be… But I just feel like we’re at a turning point in HuskyTHON, for some reason, and I want to keep working to make sure we’re pointing it in the right direction!”

Mike McLachlan Corporate Sponsorship
“I really want us to raise 500,000$. That would be sweet!”

Adrianna Rinaldi Special Events
“My HuskyTHON resolution this year is to not complain ONCE while I am at the event. I want to try to remain positive 100% of the time, and not give in to being tired, or my feet hurting.”
