It's back! The Seattle 18th Annual UNCF Walk for Education, formally known as the UNCF "Walk-a-Mile to Save-a-Mind", is back in its first year since 2000.

The walk begins at Judkins Park and will continue through the "African American Legacy Parks", Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center, and back to Judkins Park. The day will also feature our 2nd annual UNCF BBQ Cook-Off for Education in partnership with Umoja Fest and "Kids Happy Hour". Umoja Fest, a Seafair sanctioned community event, is the largest African American community festival in the Pacific Northwest.



All events will be held at Judkins Park.

Come and join us on Saturday, August 6, 2011 at Judkins Park as we walk to help students get to and through college. Corporate teams, fraternities, sororities, groups, churches, organizations and individuals who participate realize that "a mind is a terrible thing to waste"®. UNCF currently supports over 300 UNCF students and scholarship recipients from the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.

Prizes will be awarded to the participants and team captains that raise the most money through confirmed donations through August 31, 2011. Deadline for top team prizes is July 15. Registered walkers who raise $100 will receive an official UNCF Walk for Education t-shirt.
Registration costs:
$25 Adult Walkers/Runners
