Tufts Student Died After Choking During Charity Eating Contest
Madie Nicpon was participating in a hot dog eating contest as part of the "Play for Pink" breast cancer awareness fundraiser.
Madie Nicpon, a junior on the women's lacrosse team, was participating in a hot dog eating contest as part of the "Play for Pink" fundraiser on Saturday, WCVB's Rhondella Richardson reported. She was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where she died the next day.
About 3,000 students, faculty and staff gathered Sunday at the Gantcher Center in Nicpon's memory, before heading to Bello Field for a candlelight vigil, university officials said. A GoFundMe campaign to assist her family with funeral and medical expenses had raised more than $158,000 as of 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
THE NAKED QUAD RUN WAS AN ISSUE TEN YEARS AGO
THE END OF AN ERA ERR0R http://tuftsobserver.org/the-end-of-an-era/
On November 15, 2011, every member of the Tufts student body, as well as all of our parents, received an email from the Tufts administration that reiterated the decision by President Emeritus Larry Bacow to ban the infamous Naked Quad Run. The email was an explicit warning—students were reminded of the consequences of participating in NQR—suspension—and parents, many of whom were hearing about the event for the first time, were drawn into undergraduate life on the Hill in a way that many of them—and us—have never before experienced.
