Welcome 2024 HBCU family and supporters!
This year we are celebrating as we prepare to host our 4th Annual Philadelphia HBCU 5K Run Walk on Saturday, June 29, 2024!
Thanks to you this event has grown into the largest run walk of it’s kind in the country. We are always excited to have our HBCU Alumni Alliance affiliates in Atlanta and Washington, D.C. joining in this effort, as we come together to raise funds for our students, while promoting healthy lifestyles. This is HBCU 5k Run/Walk is held simultaneously in our respective areas.
For the past three years we have successfully raised over $100K in scholarships for Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Delaware students through our HBCU alumni association member schools and community partners.
Once again, we are excited to build on our previous success by bringing our event back to Cooper River Park in Pennsauken, NJ. Along with in-person running or walking, we will continue to keep the virtual component of the run walk for all of our supporters who joined us from across the country and around the world. All of us can play a part in continuing the legacies of our beloved institutions.
Lastly, I would like to recognize our corporate and individual supporters for your continued commitment towards this effort. Your participation brings alive our event motto “Run for YOU, Run for THEM, Run for OUR LEGACY”. Without your contributions we would not be celebrating four years of hosting this event. Thank you for your continued commitment and belief in our goal to support the mission of HBCUs across the country and assist the students who attend them.
Service is our Legacy & Future,
Gregory T. Wilson, MPA
President
