5K Charity Race
The 2025 Fast & Furriest 5k Fun Run raises money for the Metro East Humane Society. McKendree University Sport Management seniors entirely plan and execute the event as their major capstone class project. In 2025, the Fast & Furriest Fun Run race lets us support the Metro East Humane Society, an organization located in Edwardsville, IL, that improves animal welfare in the St. Louis Metro East by providing quality animal services including adoption of animals, advocacy and preventative initiatives. |
Event & Facilities Management class
2025 marks the 11th year of a hands-on, experiential learning Sport Event & Facilities Management course that raises funds for a local nonprofit organization of the students' choice. Developing, planning, executing, and evaluating this event helps Sport Management majors put their classroom learning to use and understand "real world" scenarios. It also gives students sales, marketing, and sponsorship experiences, as well as networking opportunities outside the classroom. |
