BX alumni, official unite against child asthma
The Bronx alumni chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi united with Assemblyman Marcos Crespo in a beautification project to benefit children with asthma.
The fraternity members planted 11 trees along Exit 1 of the Bronx River Parkway for the Adopt-A-Highway program that they say will provide clean oxygen to the environment.
It also beautifies the community and keeps the air clean, they say.
