More than 600 runners participated in the 4.NINERK Fundraiser event last Saturday.  Although the morning of the race was hit with rainy weather, it did not stop the event from being a complete success.

According to Chancellor Philip L. Dubois:

“Almost every day I receive e-mail messages from students faced with financial decisions no student should have to make. Their families are suffering financially and cannot help them, and they often already work, sometimes more than one job, to supplement the financial aid they receive. Many are first-generation college students – in fact, UNC Charlotte educates the largest number of first-generation students in the UNC system. The proceeds from today’s run will help many stay in school.”

The event raised more than $27,000 for need-based scholarships at UNC Charlotte.
