From the organizer

Delta Sigma Pi is hosting a cancer awareness 5k on May 2nd. This event is especially meaningful to us as one of our brothers recently fought and beat stage 4 testicular germ cell cancer. Seeing someone so close to us go through this has inspired us to take action to support young adults in similar situations. All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Dear Jack Foundation.

We will be hosting both a 5k run and a 5k walk at Tyson Park. The runners will start at 10:00 AM EST, and the walkers will follow at 11:00 AM EST. We encourage participants who live close UT's campus to walk or carpool to the event, as we will have limited parking at the park.
