5th Annual African American Male Wellness Walk

The OSU Alumni Club of Greater Washington, DC is looking to put together a “passion team” of 5k walkers and runners to participate and support the 5th Annual African American Male Wellness Walk in Washington, DC. On Saturday, September 21st, 2019, men, women, and children will come together for the 2019 Washington D.C. AAWalk to raise awareness and take action to combat the health crisis facing African American men. The event will kick-off at 7AM with the start of health screenings, with the 5k race/walk beginning promptly at 8:30AM.

AAWALK Mission
Founded in Columbus, Ohio in 2004, the AAWalk works to combat the alarming numbers of African American men dying from preventable diseases. To date, the AAWalk averages upwards of 20,000 annual participants and has expanded to several cities outside of Ohio, including Washington, D.C.

Impact on Washington, DC
In recent years, Washington D.C. has consistently ranked in the top two of the Nation’s fittest cities.  However, African American residents in the District, specifically native Washingtonians in Ward 7 and Ward 8, are being left behind as they continue to suffer from stark health disparities. If you can’t make it but want to get involved, we ask that folks simply help spread the word to other local community organizations or influential individuals that you feel should be involved.  

For more information, contact Alumni Board member Kenneth Blacks at Kenneth.blacks@gmail.com.

Register for the 5k walk/run at https://racewire.com/register.php?id=10722

Once you register, confirm with Kenneth Blacks at Kenneth.blacks@gmail.com.

OSUDC’s New Membership Method Is Here!

Recently The Ohio State Alumni Association unveiled a new method for alumni clubs and societies to collect membership dues. After a lot of careful consideration, OSUDC decided that this new method was beneficial both to the club, its current members, and all other alumni in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area. This new method will make your Club dues both tax deductible and count towards your OSUAA sustaining membership, which makes you eligible for football tickets and other great benefits. This new membership method is now in place! Click here for more information or to join/renew!
