On Saturday May 2, 2015 the California State University Stanislaus Student Nurses’ Association will hold their second annual 5K walk and a health fair from 8:30 am-12 pm. “It is important for us to improve the health of the community,” said Cassandra Landrum Vice President of CSUS Student Nurses’ Association, (senior, Nursing). The walk will take around campus and it is a free event. “The 5K is to raise money for the American Heart Association,” said Landrum. The walk starts at 10 am, pre-registration is $25 and $30 on the day of the event. They will provide free water bottles to the first 100 participants.
This event is more than just for students, as they will also have the Kinesiology Club and local farmers selling produce. They will have fun activities set up for children to participate in this free event. “We will have local farmers out to attract families to come out,” said Landrum. “The Kinesiology Club will provide free BMI and blood pressures,” said Landrum. “Kinesiology Club will promote healthy lifestyle choices as well.”
“As a student organization, we want the connection made between community, students and the campus,” said Landrum. This is their second year hosting this event whose main goal is to educate the community and students about healthier life style choices. Free parking will be provided on the campus parking lots three and four, off of Crowell Rd.
