2005 Women's Walk Raises Record Amount
Apr 16, 2005 | General
A projected $328,000, the largest total ever, was raised by walkers in Saturday's Diet Pepsi/UNO Women's Walk for women's athletics, UNO Associate Athletic Director Deb Denbeck announced today. The Women's Walk, now in its 20th year, has now raised over $2.6 million for the women's athletic department since its inception.
Over 1,000 women participated in the event which raises money for scholarships for UNO's female student-athletes. It is the primary fundraiser for women's athletic scholarships.
"I would like to thank all of these women for coming out today and supporting UNO women's athletics," said Denbeck. "This was an unbelievable event for UNO's female student-athletes and I am so pleased at the record amount of money raised."
A continental breakfast and a chance to win many valuable prizes were just a few of the incentives for participants.
The Diet Pepsi Women's Walk receives its name from the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company, which for the past 17 years, has sponsored this fundraiser with a $25,000 annual donation. Pepsi's donation pays for the cost of the walk, therefore, all the money raised by the walkers directly benefits the female student-athletes.
Chairman of the event was Maggie Lehning.
