This weekend, Sigma Nu Fraternity at UAHuntsville will host the Wounded Warrior Walk, a 5K walk/run benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project. The 2nd annual walk will commence on the Saturday morning of April 20th.
Fun for the Family
Spend your Saturday by taking a stroll through UAHuntsville’s beautiful campus and help organizers reach their goal of $10,000, a jump from an inspiring $4,000 in contributions they raised at the first year’s walk. Food, vendors and activities will also be at the event, making this event perfect for the whole family. The cost to walk plus a t-shirt will be $20 and $15 just to walk. Register in advance through UAHuntsville.
