Details on Steps to Make a Difference Walk
With one small step, you can make a difference in your community.
That’s the message UW-Green Bay student organizers are using to promote the 8th annual Steps to Make a Difference Walk this Saturday (Oct. 19) on the University campus. Walkers will follow a two- or four-mile course along the beautiful fall-color-filled trails of the Cofrin Memorial Arboretum.
Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. with the walk departing at 10 a.m. from the Mauthe Center, located just north of the Kress Events Center.
The walk is organized by the Phoenix Philanthropy Club and the Center for Public Affairs. Through this event, student organizers become civically engaged and develop leadership skills. The Philanthropy Club has selected four local charities to benefit from this annual student-led fundraiser:
- Court Appointed Special Advocates of BrownCounty (CASA)
- Harmony Café of Green Bay
- The Fox/Wolf Watershed Alliance
- Literacy Green Bay
Organizers say that, whether participants want to improve the lives of children or adults, people or the environment, 100 percent of the money raised in the Steps Walk has a real and immediate impact on local charities that address community’s needs.
The registration form is available online at www.uwgb.edu/steps. The fee is $25 for non-students and $15 for students. (There’s a $5 discount for registering by Oct. 16. Donations made out to one of the four organizations listed above can also be mailed to the UW-Green Bay Phoenix Philanthropy Club, Office of Student Life, UU150, 2420 Nicolet Drive, Green Bay, WI, 54311.
