Join the Tradition: MCC Foundation's 20th Annual Walk/Run for Scholarships
Please share with students:There's still time to register for the Monroe Community College Foundation's 20th Annual Walk/Run for Scholarships on Saturday, October 3. Faculty, staff, students, alumni, retirees, friends, and community supporters are invited to take part in this special milestone event that helps provide scholarship support for MCC students.
For two decades, the Walk/Run for Scholarships has brought together the MCC and greater Rochester communities to promote educational opportunity while raising funds to support student success. More than 300 participants are expected to come together for a day of fitness, fun, and philanthropy.
Participants and their families can enjoy:
- A Zumba warm-up led by Maribel Torres '98
- The opportunity to walk or run the certified 5K course
- A family-friendly Fall Fest, sponsored by Campus Activities Board
- Scholarship drawings and an awards ceremony
- A delicious lunch
A highlight of the event is the awarding of $5,000 in scholarships through post-race drawings for current MCC student participants.
Whether you register individually or as part of a team, take part in a friendly departmental fundraising challenge, honor or remember someone special, or simply enjoy a day with family and friends, there's a place for everyone at this longstanding MCC tradition.
