_ 2016 UNCF NY 5K Walk/Run for Education:


About the Walk/Run

This has become an anticipated 5K (3.1 mile) walk and certified run for corporate employees, donors, volunteers and friends. This fundraising event was created to raise funds for UNCF students in the form of scholarships and services. UNCF supports 37 member historically black colleges and universities, as well as over 60,000 students each year attending more than 1,100 colleges and universities across the country.

UNCF Corporate teams, fraternities, sororities, groups, churches, organizations, HBCU alumni, and individuals who participate know that "a mind is a terrible thing to waste"™ and appreciate the importance of "giving back."

 

Goal

We have set a fund raising goal of $150,000. It is critical that each participant recruit family, friends, and co-workers to sponsor your walk or run. No contribution is too small! Setting and achieving a personal goal will help us reach our fund raising target.
