Aquinas Men’s Hockey Hosts Second Annual Bear Toss: By Grace Malec, Sports Editor
SPORTS: The Billy Bear Hug Foundation is a locally-founded non-profit, with the organization’s board even featuring Aquinas College Alumni. The non-profit was founded by Charlie Wondergem in honor of his late brother, William B. Wondergem. William (Billy) Wondergem was a graduate of Calvin College who was studying to become a pediatric oncologist, even going on to discover a rare gene that would change how kidney cancer was diagnosed in his research at the Van Andel Institute. Wondergem unexpectedly passed away in his sleep, just weeks after being accepted into some of the top medical schools in the country in Oct. of 2010.
