Won’t you donate to a good cause?
HISTORY OF THE WALK
When severe budget cuts threatened to end the Women’s Athletic Program at UNO, Connie Claussen and a group of supporters developed the Women’s Walk as a way to continue the athletic program for young women. The first walk in 1986 had 86 walkers and raised $12,000! Last year, the Diet Pepsi/UNO Women’s Walk had more than 1,000 participants and raised more than $200,000.
PURPOSE
The Diet Pepsi/UNO Women’s Walk is the marquee fundraiser for women’s athletics at UNO. The dollars raised from the Women’s Walk provide scholarships for our female student athletes. The 24th Diet Pepsi/ UNO Women’s Walk will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2009. Diet Pepsi, as our Signature Sponsor, ($30,000) encourages its fellow business colleagues to partner with UNO and support this event. The Diet Pepsi/UNO Women’s Walk is the largest event of its kind in the United States.
Any amount of $$ you donate would be GREATLY appreciated by the female athletes of UNO!!!
And tell me how do they pay for the mens sports?
With Money!!!
The Men’s Sports do not have a fundraiser geared towards them. With Hockey & Football they cover their own behinds.
Have you been to a basketball double header? There are a good 100-300 less people @ a women’s game, even though it is only 2 hrs earlier.
