WV Walks:  30+ Minutes Daily

President's Walking Cup


On Thursday, April 28th, the President's Walking Cup event was held at the WVU Recreation Center. WV Walks campaign members, WVU students, faculty and organizations as well as members of the community gathered to take healthier steps with WVU President David Hardesty.

Walkers fought the cold and windy weather and came together to show their support. Donations from area pizza shops like Dominos, Casa D'Amici, Pizza Hut, just to name a few, bakery goods from Panera along with donated water and fruit from grocery stores like Kroger, the walkers definitely worked up an appetite.

After the brisk walk, President Hardesty was presented with a trophy for all of his support throughout this campaign. Some walkers were also recognized for their enthusiasm, and Chi Omega received an award for having the most participants from an organization. Dr. Maria Brann's Health Communications class also received an award for all of their hard work.
