Alumni Weekend University City 5K Run Each year, experienced runners and amateur weekend athletes take to the streets for the University City 5K Run. The event benefits the Nicholas P. Pipino Memorial Scholarship for Drexel University students and includes awards for all age groups in both the male and female categories during a post-race ceremony at the Alumni Family Picnic. To date, the University City 5K Run, along with our many valued sponsors, has assisted in providing more than $120,000 in scholarship aid to Drexel University students. Save the Date:
 About the Run The Nicholas P. Pipino Memorial Foundation was founded by family, friends, and volunteers seeking to stop senseless acts of violence and also preserve their fond memories of Nick Pipino. Nick was a Drexel University student who was fatally stabbed outside Cavanaugh's Restaurant & Bar on December 19, 1992, where he worked part-time as a bartender while pursuing an undergraduate degree at Drexel. In keeping with Nick's love for the outdoors, the foundation has organized this run since 1993 as a way to make something positive come out of Nick's untimely death. The foundation has also partnered with Drexel University, creating scholarship opportunities which enable young individuals to obtain an education without the demands of part-time employment and allows the student to focus on his or her education. The relationship between Drexel and the Nicholas P. Pipino Memorial Foundation provides financial assistance and a quality education to enthusiastic students who are eager to meet the realistic demands of the professional world. On behalf of the students who will benefit most from your support, we appreciate your time and hope to see you on race day. |
