April
Date: Saturday, April 17
Event: The College of Education's Cycle-Thon (13.5 miles) and 5K Run/Walk
Time: 9:00am-1:30pm
Location: Sunset Park
This event benefits SCOPE, which gives economically disadvantaged and/or first-generation prospective college students exposure to higher education through a summer residential program at Penn State. Students learn about the college admission and financial aid process and address areas such as study skills, leadership, community service and personal development.
JWC member Samantha Culovic is coordinator of the event and needs volunteers to assist with children's activities (face painting, games, etc.) and handing out prizes to the race winners. This is a family-friendly event and volunteers are welcome to bring their own children. Volunteers are not required to stay for the entire event - any assistance would be appreciated.
5-10 volunteers are needed. If you are able to volunteer, please contact Samantha directly at smc33@psu.edu. You can also help the cause by participating as a cyclist or runner/walker - for more information and to register, visit www.ed.psu.edu/educ/cyclethon.
