A 5K BENEFITING THE CHASE CHILD LIFE PROGRAM AT THE UCLA MATTEL CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL 

Urgent Update about the 21st Annual Bruin Run/Walk:

To all of our friends, supporters, and community:

SWC Bruin Run/Walk’s mission is to support programs that further enhance the well-being and health of children in the greater Los Angeles area. Over the last 20 years, we’ve been responsible for organizing and hosting one of the largest student-run events at UCLA: a 5K during the spring that supports the Chase Child Life Program at the UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital. Funds raised from our event are directly donated to the program to support Chase Child Life specialists who play an essential role in helping pediatric patients and their families better acclimate to the hospital environment. 

It is with our deepest sadness and regret that we announce the cancellation of the 21st Annual Bruin Run/Walk, originally scheduled on Sunday, April 26, 2020. As one of the twelve committees in the Student Wellness Commission, our highest priority is that everyone remains safe and healthy during these troubling times. Therefore, we want to ensure the health and well-being of the community by preventing the further spread of COVID-19.

We will be offering refunds for our 5K event, but please know that this is a fundraiser for the Chase Child Life Program. It would be greatly appreciated if you considered your registration fee as a donation. If you would still like to receive a refund, please  email us directly at bruinrunwalk@gmail.com. In the email, please indicate that you would like a refund and send the email you registered with. We will be able to refund you through runsignup you should see the refund in your bank account in 3-5 days. The deadline to request a refund is April 26, 2020.

​

We wish you the best during these uncertain times. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact us via email: bruinrunwalk@gmail.com.

Best,

SWC Bruin Run/Walk Committee '19-'20
