Kelly Drive, tent position 155 and 156
(near the finish line below Saint Joseph’s Boathouse)
Philadelphia, PA

Therapeutic Recreation Program faculty and alumni have entered a boat in the festival for the third year and will be paddling in memory of John Noisette, a former TR professor and the man behind the Rollin’ Owls, Temple’s wheelchair basketball team.

Join Temple’s TR alumni crew – the Paddlin’ Owls – in promoting fun and recreation for all. The festival is free of charge and lasts all day, with three races in assorted divisions. Enjoy a lovely fall day socializing, eating and cheering the Temple TR crew to victory.

Look for the Temple TR team at tent position 155 and 156 near the finish line below Saint Joseph's Boathouse along Kelly Drive. (Click here for directions and parking information.)

If you can’t join the fun, but would like to make a contribution to the TR Development Fund for student awards, contact Sean Marsh at sean.marsh@temple.edu. All paddling members of the Temple TR alumni crew have contributed $125 toward the festival costs. Any proceeds support the development of the John Noisette memorial departmental award.

For more information about the event, contact Rhonda Nelson at nelsonr@temple.edu or Toni Hinkle (Corisdeo) at acorisdeo@spininc.org.
