Harvard Graduate Council 'Fun Run' To Raise Funds

Rain or shine, the fourth annual Fun Run is fast approaching! Sponsored by the Harvard Graduate Council (HGC), the Fun Run will take place on Saturday, April 18, at the Business School's Kresge Hall. Registration will take place at 9 a.m., followed by the race at 10 a.m. In addition, a relay race will be held at 10:45 a.m.

The purpose of the Fun Run is to bring together graduate students to raise money for local service organizations. The 3-K race is organized by HGC and funded through corporate sponsors. In 1996, over 500 people participated in the event which raised $5,000 for Outdoor Explorations, an organization which coordinates environmental service projects, disability training, and adventure trips for hundreds of people with cognitive and physical disabilities.

Run by students, the HGC links the ten graduate and professional schools to promote political, social, athletic, and public service programs that unite the University community.

Registration is $10 in advance and $15 on the day of the race. For more information, contact Yvonne Michael, 525-2235, or Tanuja Rastogi, 277-6145.
