More than 800 people were on hand for the festivities of the 11th annual “Paint the Capital City Green” which was jointly sponsored by the Friends of Coal and Marshall University Alumni on August 20 at the Charleston Embassy Suites.
Music by the Thundering Herd band as well as a rousing pep assembly featuring the Marshall cheerleading corps and Marco got the crowd into the spirit. After remarks by Marshall University President Stephen Kopp and Governor Manchin and others, WVCA Vice President Chris Hamilton took the stage. Offering the 2008 limited edition coin as an auction item for a new costume for Marco, the crowd rallied and brought in $3,000.
