_ 2017 Dollars for Scholars - Detroit Riverfront 5k/1Mile:
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority is proud to present the Dollars for Scholars Race for 2017! This Scholarship Dash is the 5K and Fun Run Detroit area event you don't want to miss! Join us, Saturday April 8th 2017, on the Detroit Riverfront for an exciting, nonprofit 5K and Fun Run including awards, medals, t-shirts, prizes and music. The event includes a USATF certified and timed 5K, and an untimed 1 Mile Fun Run.
Don't forget bragging rights! We encourage you to support your favorite high school, university, fraternity/sorority or organization by wearing your colors at the event. Special recognition will be given for organizations/chapters that are well represented (individual runners, teams, volunteers, cheering sections). Brag loud and proud!
Thank you for supporting the scholarship program and being a part of a legacy that awards scholarship aid to needy students—both male and female—of all races and conducts educational programs to enhance the quality of life.
This race is being organized by TriToFinish, as part of the 77th Central Region Conference of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, with proceeds being placed back into the Detroit community through the National Education Fund, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority.
Start your day with a 5K on the RiverWalk. Just steps outside the Marriott is Detroit’s RiverWalk — a paved path stretching from the Ambassador Bridge to the MacArthur (Belle Isle) Bridge. Along the RiverWalk are the Gateway to Freedom International Memorial to the Underground Railroad, Horace Dodge Fountain, Cullen Family Carousel and more!
