🏃♂️ 5K Race Information
On Saturday, April 26th, Omega Phi Alpha is hosting our first annual 5K event (O5K) on and around the BU brain to raise money and support for mental health and suicide awareness. O5K will be starting at the front of University Union at 11AM. The first three male and female runners will receive a prize! Free water and snacks will be provided to all participants.
💖 Purpose of the Event
As Binghamton students, we have learned firsthand how mental health can impact not just individuals but the campus as a whole. Our goal is to raise money for an organization that will benefit Binghamton and surrounding areas directly within the mental health realm: the Mental Health Association of the Southern Tier. All proceeds from donations, registration, and sponsorships will be directed toward the Mental Health Association of the Southern Tier.
