Event Description

The Virtual Rams Let's Walk 5k will begin on Sunday, August 30, 2020 at 9AM to raise funds and awareness for West Chester University student-athlete mental health. WCU students, staff, faculty, family, friends, and community members are encouraged to join us on social media during the event in support of our student-athletes through participation in the 5k, 1 mile walk, or any form of exercise you can participate in! 

The purpose of the race is to:

1. Raise funds to benefit WCU student-athletes, providing new and additional resources toward mental health initiatives
2. Raise awareness surrounding mental health, including suicide prevention awareness
3. Provide mental health education and resources 

Mental health and suicide prevention awareness are topics near and dear to WCU Athletics, affecting our WCU student-athletes and community directly. It's important to bring light to such sensitive topics in order to normalize the conversation, unify our community, and validate the necessity for providing resources and support to student-athletes. Join us in our movement and register today!
