Bryce Terry, a Skidmore College student‑athlete, together with his hockey teammates Shane Baker, Coleman Jenkins, Christian Day and Theo Angelopoulos, headed the second annual Beyond the Summit Triathlon held in North Conway, New Hampshire, on August 21, 2026. The event was organized to generate financial support for the oncology department at Memorial Hospital.
The triathlon brought together runners, cyclists and swimmers from the local community and surrounding areas. Terry and his teammates served as the primary organizers, coordinating logistics, recruiting participants and promoting the cause among their peers. Their involvement highlighted the role of student athletes in mobilizing resources for charitable initiatives. The race course wound through the scenic terrain of North Conway, offering competitors a challenging yet picturesque setting.
Beyond the Summit marks its second year as a fundraiser focused on cancer care services. By directing proceeds to Memorial Hospital’s oncology unit, the event aims to enhance treatment options, support patient services and fund research efforts. The Skidmore hockey group’s participation underscores a broader trend of collegiate athletes engaging in community service and philanthropy, leveraging their visibility and teamwork skills to benefit local health programs.
While exact donation totals remain pending, the organizers anticipate that the combined effort of participants, volunteers and sponsors will provide meaningful assistance to the hospital’s oncology department. The event also serves as a platform for raising awareness about cancer treatment needs within the region. As the triathlon concluded, Terry and his teammates expressed satisfaction with the community’s response and reiterated their commitment to continuing the fundraiser in future years.
