Please join the ERGs at the 2023 Annual Tiger Trot for Hunger 5k Run & Walk! This is a great way for us to get some fresh air, connect with campus colleagues, and support a great cause. Proceeds from the 5k go to Arm In Arm, a local non-profit organization that helps Mercer County citizens in need of food, housing, and joint support.   There are many ways to get involved:   Register your interest in participating in the walk as part of our ERG team via the ERG interest form by Friday, November 10th. This information will help us determine the size of our team and order t-shirts for participants. For those able to participate, please register via Campus Rec here and list your ERG affiliation in the team section. Please register by November 17th. Note: Donations are a personal expense and will not be covered by ERG budget. There are two options to participate On-Campus on Friday, 11/17 at 3 pm or you can participate in the virtual run/walk anywhere with the RaceJoy App.  Please visit the Tiger Trot page for more details.   Volunteer to work at our ERG start line/finish line information booth! We will be talking with race participants, answering questions, signing up new members, and handing out materials and giving away swag. Each shift is approximately 1 hour. You can indicate your interest and availability on the ERG interest form. If you have a conflict, please encourage others to register or donate a non-perishable food item to Arm In Arm. Monetary or non-perishable food donations are accepted in lieu of an event entry fee and are not required for participation. In-Person Main Event Participants Please bring your non-perishable food item(s) and/or monetary donation (used to purchase fresh fruit/vegetables) to Dillon Gym on Thursday, 11/16/23 from 10am - 2pm.
