Join the University Community on October 13, 2007 for the BRIDGES Walk for a Just Community!

NINTH ANNUAL UNITY WALK  (10 AM)
 & FREEDOM RUN (9:45 AM)
Saturday, October 13, 2007
National Underground Railroad Freedom Center

Each year, the University of Cincinnati community participates in the BRIDGES Walk/Run.  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/Run proceeds go to benefit youth and community leadership educational programs, dialogue programs, public policy forums and advocacy.

Cincinnati's Walk/Run is the nation's largest unity walk.  Help us continue the tradition!
