Event Description
Greetings Eagle Family,
It's always heartwarming to see our community come together for another year of Homecoming festivities. I would like to invite you to join us as we promote health, wellness and life balance among our Eagle friends and loved ones. For the second year in a row, The Ultimate Homecoming will feature the Wellness Walk around the perimeter of our Dear Ole NCCU campus on Friday, October 25, 2024 between 7:00am and 9:00am. The purpose of this Wellness Walk includes bringing family and friends together to:
- Remember the fallen Eagles,
- Encourage Eagles dealing with difficult health challenges, and
- Inspire the entire Eagle community to invest time, energy and resources into their personal wellness
Here's how you can participate:
- Register to walk/run with one of the Existing Teams honoring an Eagle alum who is no longer with us or one that is battling a difficult health challenge,
- Sign Up and create a Honoring Eagles team in the name of an Eagle alum who is no longer with us or one that is battling a health challenge, and/or
- Donate to participate virtually or simply support the cause.
The Homecoming Wellness Walk/Run supports the Healthy Eagle Wellness Endowment Fund. This endowment provides scholarships for exceptional Family and Consumer Sciences/Human Sciences majors dedicated to enhancing health and wellness in the Black community. Through their educational pursuits, community service, and career goals, these students demonstrate a profound commitment to positive change. Your participation helps empower the next generation of health leaders.
On behalf of the race organizers, I look forward to your participation in promoting health and wellness in our community. Together we can build a community that uplifts the next generation of Eagles by making health and wellness a priority. Thank you for participating, let's be healthy together!
Sincerely,
Esu Ma’at
