Announcements

Bike 7,873 miles from River Falls to Uganda
On Wednesday, April 20, the UWRF and the River Falls community will attempt to "bike" the 7,873 miles from River Falls to Kampala, Uganda, for the third time. For those who participated, last year's event was a huge success! We're hoping this year to raise at least $1,500 for the new Building Tomorrow Academy of Jomba. Bike to Uganda 2011 is set for 8 a.m.-5 p.m. on the University Center Mall (Rain site: Falcon's Nest Mazzanine) during Unity in the Community on April 20. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the third annual Bike to Uganda. Donate $10, bike 30 minutes, and raise over $1,500 in one day for school supplies at Academy of Jomba. See the impact you can make and learn how much an education costs. UWRF has raised more than $16,000 toward Academy of Jomba which was opened Feb. 21.
