Description
The Blue Devils DPT 5k will be a virtual event this year on October 31st, 2020. The funds raised from this 5k will be going towards the VCU-Marquette 2020-2021 Challenge. The Marquette Challenge (named VCU-Marquette as VCU won the challenge last year) is a grassroots, student-led fundraising effort that supports the mission of the Foundation for Physical Therapy Research (FPTR). Funds raised goes towards physical therapy student scholarships, fellowships, and grants for research. Each year, hundreds of physical therapist (PT) and physical therapist assistant (PTA) students, with the support of their program directors and community, hold fundraising events across the United States (and enjoy a little fun competition on the side).
