Today was the first class of Life Course Scholars- part 2! For my HAP Project, I with many others are planning a local Walk-A-Thon, an intergenerational walk-a-thon to bring awareness to the benefits of exercise and connect diverse individuals. While it was difficult to obtain permits, we are settling with a public venue that does not require such reservations including Mission Beach or a sidewalk near the ocean front. We were hoping the race commemorates a specific holiday during spring quarter such as May Fourth, after the Star Wars mantra “May the Fourth be with you” or Memorial Day Weekend or Mother’s Day. Our large group has been assigned to different tasks including location and map course designation, fundraising and outreach, and the day-of-the-event activities. I was assigned to day-of-the-event activities- I am planning to allocate my $100 on Propel packets people could pour into water bottles, granola bars, and bananas. I would also like to make posters to decorate the race, and use sidewalk chalk to mark the distances and pathway to avoid any confusion for our participants. I have also designed a race logo on t-shirts which could be bought for a requested $5 but participation in the race itself is free. The logo I designed as footsteps fading into the background of a palm tree. As a group, we plan to talk with Jadzia, the previous Life Course Scholar who has initiated such idea. With our fantastic team and great dedication, I believe the walk-a-thon would be a success.
