2008 Women's Walk a SUCCESS!
Nearly 400 people participated in the second annual CSB Women’s Walk last Sunday, April 27th to support Blazer athletics and recreation. Between cash sponsorships, gift in kind, donations and walkers the Walk raised a grand total of $39,000!
"The entire event was a huge success, and extremely fulfilling for everyone involved" said CSB athletic director Carol Howe-Veenstra "the excitement, visibility and funds generated for our athletic and recreation departments resulted in a 30% growth from our first Women's Walk a year ago. We especially appreciate all of our sponsors, especially gold level Bernick’s Pepsi"
CSB has already begun planning for the third annual Women’s Walk for Sunday, April 26th, 2009.
Women’s walk is a fundraiser for the College of Saint Benedict’s Athletic and Recreation programs. CSB athletics and recreation work to ensure that every student has the opportunity to develop her mind, body, and spirit. Over time, available funding has not grown at a rate equal to that of our programs and student participation. There is a present need at CSB to increase services and opportunities, and funding raised will go towards supporting these various entities.
Individuals from CSB/SJU, the St. Cloud community and beyond can help in two main 
ways:
1. Be a sponsor. Businesses or individuals can serve as cash or gift-in-kind sponsors, or both!
2. Create a team. Gather a team of friends, family or co-workers to raise money for the Blazers.
3. Be a walker! Come join in the fun!
On the day of the walk, come celebrate your great fundraising with us! Participate in the 30 minute walk along with other great family activities such as face painting, massages, kid’s games, free food and more!
"As we are learning, staying active is essential for a long and healthy life. CSB has a terrific tradition of athletics and recreational activities for students. Women’s Walk is a way to support these programs, show support for the students who participate, and model the behavior ourselves. What a great excuse for an afternoon of fun! "
