\nBINGHAMTON, NY — Former WNBA star and Olympic gold medalist, Rebecca Lobo<\/a> was the keynote speaker on April 27, 2015 at the athletics department\u2019s 10th-annual Binghamton University Collegiate Women’s Luncheon. Source: bupipedream.com.

\u201cMy theme is that I was fortunate to be raised by a really strong woman, a really strong-willed woman, who let me understand that I could be whatever I wanted to be through sports, who encouraged me to dream,\u201d Lobo said before the event. \u201cThe bigger idea is, it\u2019s OK to dream and go for that, because you never know what doors may open, and you never know what opportunities may be there, and to never think that you\u2019re limited because of your gender.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year’s event drew a record-setting attendance with over 550 attendees. Since 2006, the luncheon has also raised over $250,000 for its Binghamton Bearcats Athletics Association Women\u2019s Scholarship Fund, and awarded to two female student-athletes annually.<\/p>\n
