Eve Carson Memorial 5K for Education
slated for Nov. 21
The second annual Eve Carson Memorial 5K for Education race will be held on Nov. 21 at 10 a.m. Check-in for the race, which begins on Polk Place in front of South Building, starts at 8 a.m.
Named for Carolina’s former student body president in honor of her commitment to service, the race is designed to bring together the campus and local communities to benefit education. Participants of all ages and skill levels are welcome, and walking is an option.
Shown in the photo at left, Chancellor Emeritus James Moeser was a participant in last year's event, which raised more than $24,000. This year, two-thirds of the proceeds will go to the Eve Carson Scholarship Fund and the remainder will be split between the First Book literacy organization and Frank Porter Graham Elementary School, where Carson volunteered as a science instructor. The event is sponsored by Pi Beta Phi sorority and Phi Delta Theta fraternity.
