Three years ago, the first Eve Carson Memorial 5K for Education was held at the University of North Carolina in honor of the legacy of outstanding leadership and community service that former student body president Eve Marie Carson left after her life was tragically cut short. Ms. Carson was a beloved Tar Heel who possessed a passion for the university and its students. In its inaugural year, the Eve Carson Memorial 5K became the largest 5K in Chapel Hill history. The race has continued to grow each year, with more than 1,500 registered runners and over $30,000 raised for education at last year’s event.

Phi Delta Theta and Pi Beta Phi would like to invite everyone to participate in the upcoming 4th Annual Eve Carson Memorial 5K on November 19, 2011. Proceeds from this year’s race will benefit the Eve Carson Memorial Scholarship, First Book, and CEO 4 Teens. You may learn more about each cause by clicking on its logo below.
