Hi Spelman Sister,
This summer, the DC Metro HBCU Alumni Alliance (DCHBCUAA) will kick-off its first annual HBCU 5K Run/2K Walk, targeting alumni, family and friends in support of health awareness and scholarship. An estimated 2,000+ participants will come together to raise funds to benefit high school and college students in the Washington, DC metro area who choose to attend Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

The Healthcare Fair
There will be a free healthcare fair in the Blackburn Center. DCHBCUAA is partnering with local doctors, nutritionists, fitness professionals and more to host our very first Health Fair in conjunction with the 5K Run/2K Walk. Registrants will receive blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol and body mass screenings as well as obtain other health related information.
HBCU Alumni chapters will also conduct a College Fair after the race to provide information to high school students about each of the respective colleges and universities they proudly represent. Staff from the Department of Education will be on hand to assist parents and children with financial information.

Students may apply for a $1000 scholarship by filling out an application and submitting a 250 word essay. The deadline is May 24, 2013. Click here for the application.
