The
Center is named after the local humanitarian
and basketball hero, Reggie Lewis, who played collegiate basketball
for neighboring Northeastern University and professionally,
for the Boston Celtics. Celtics Captain Reggie Lewis
was revered not only for his athletic prowess but also for
his dedication and advocacy for the educational, physical,
emotional and social well being of the youth within the Boston
community. It is this legacy which, in great part, shapes
the vision, mission and goals of the Reggie Lewis Track and
Athletic Center.
