Scoring another one for Hunter’s team
 |
| Former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly, far left, is bringing the Hunter’s Hope Candlelight Ball back to RIT for a second consecutive year. At a recent news conference, RIT President Albert Simone, far right, who served as last year’s honorary event chair, introduced Tom Richards, RIT trustee and former CEO of Rochester Gas & Electric, as this year’s event chair. The gala, a fundraiser to fight leukodystrophies, takes place on July 29 at the RIT Inn & Conference Center. The Hunter’s Hope Foundation was established in 1997 after Kelly’s son, Hunter, was diagnosed with Krabbe Leukodystrophy. |
