Join the University Community on October 24, 2009 for the BRIDGES Walk for a Just Community!

ELEVENTH ANNUAL  5 K WALK
  10 AM
Saturday, October 24, 2009
Sawyer Point * Yeatman's Cove

Each year, the University of Cincinnati community participates in the BRIDGES Walk.  BRIDGES for a Just Community brings people together to achieve inclusion, equity and justice for all.  Formerly the National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ) of Greater Cincinnati, BRIDGES for a Just Community has served the local community since 1944.

Walk proceeds go to benefit programs of BRIDGES for a Just Community and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.  Cincinnati's Walk is the nation's largest.  Help us continue the tradition! 

The walk is 3.1 miles (5K).  There will also be a registered 5K Freedom Run ($25 pre-registration fee).
