Still need a reason to come? Here’s 10 great ones:
1. Walk for a great cause!
100% of all proceeds from the walk go towards providing malnourished children in Ethiopia with Plumpy’Nut, a therapeutic nutrient enriched peanut butter. Each ticket bought nurses 1.3 acutely malnourished children back to health.
2. Exercise outdoors in beautiful, Ithaca!
Enjoy the beautiful fall weather while exercising with your fellow IC classmates! Afterall, solving world hunger can be as easy as a walk in the park.
3. Spend time with your best friends!
There is nothing more rewarding than getting together with friends and giving back to a worthy cause. For groups of 5 or more, tickets are only $7. Bring your friends and save!
4. Get off campus and have fun!
Don’t stay cooped up in the library all weekend cramming for that Econ test! De-stress and enjoy the beautiful Cass Park, situated right beside the shores of Cayuga lake.
