Find out how to get involved in a fundraising walk through UC's beautiful Uptown Campus to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This is a great way to get UC and the community involved in such a wonderful cause. UC’s Fraternity and Sorority Community raised over $33,000 during our last campaign, and we have even bigger goals for this year’s campaign that we are hoping you can help us attain. Thanks to you, last year we had over 350 walkers and raised over $7300! Students, Alumni, Faculty, Staff, Administration, and Community Members participated!

Here are the details of the event:
