This morning Missouri State University Homecoming Weekend events kicked off with the annual Bear Tracks 5K run on campus. As part of her 4th year leadership project, athletic training student, Jessi Stewart organized a group of athletic training students and faculty to participate in the event. This is the third year that athletic training students and faculty have participated in the Bear Tracks 5K in an effort to promote health and wellness among athletic training. This year, Jessi also focused on raising support for the Breast Cancer Foundation as October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. With a fundraising campaign of athletic training 5K shirt sales, over $100 was raised and will be donated to the Breast Cancer Foundation on behalf of MSU athletic training.
Great job to everyone who participated in the fundraising as well as those who ran in this mornings’ 5K! Happy #MSUHomecoming2014 everyone.
