SUBJECT:    Chancellor's Challenge 5K Run/Walk for Scholars

The UC San Diego community will again join forces to benefit our students through the Chancellor's Challenge 5K Run/Walk for Scholars. I am tremendously proud to lead the challenge again this year and I personally invite you to this activity on Friday, October 20, 2006, for our 11th annual Chancellor's Challenge.

The Chancellor's Challenge has raised more than $1.5 million in scholarship funds to help highly motivated undergraduates attend UCSD. Whether you run or walk the 5K, I'll be joining you as I walk the course and I will donate $5,000 if the total number of registrants exceeds last year's total of 1,527.

The Chancellor's Challenge 5K Run/Walk for Scholars will start at 12:15 p.m. from the North Campus Field, adjacent to RIMAC, and continue along a course that weaves through campus. If you need alternative accessibility arrangements or accommodations, please contact Dave Koch at (858) 822-5260.

Check-in begins at 10:30 a.m. and there will be warm-up exercises at 11:45 a.m. led by Recreation's own Alexia Cervantes. For entry forms, payroll deduction forms to support scholarships, and more information about this one-of-a-kind event, please visit the Chancellor's Challenge web page at http://www.ucsd.edu/5k.

Don't miss the fun and excitement of this great event. We need volunteers to make it the success it has always been. To volunteer, send an email to: pthonnard@ucsd.edu.

Your participation is a great example of your ongoing commitment to UCSD and our students. In appreciation of your support and as part of the Faculty-Staff Campaign in the $1 billion Campaign for UCSD: Imagine What's Next, you will receive a commemorative "Help Take Us over the Top" Faculty-Staff pin.

I look forward to seeing everyone on October 20.
