Please join our Spartans, as well as many other student-athletes as we participate on Monday, June 8th in the Collegiate Athletes Run for BLM Fundraiser. The goal of this fundraiser is to get people active and motivated to donate while acknowledging the 8 minutes and 46 seconds that George Floyd was forcibly held down by Minnesota police. This isn’t the only instance of police brutality that resulted in the death of a black person. We hope to bring awareness to racism, social justice, and equality through a new light.
Here's how it works: (run/bike/walk/swim etc.)
- perform 8.46 miles of a combination of activities
- perform 8.46 minutes of each activity, at once or throughout the day
- perform 8.46 minutes of 1 activity, etc.
Bonus:
- You can also use the Nike run app, apple watch, fit bit, etc, that tracks your time and mileage to then post. - Feel free to provide history of black athletes, petition links, numbers, and more to provide new and helpful information to those who see it...
