There’s no fee or fundraising requirement to attend, but individuals who raise $250 and teams that raise $500 by March 20 will have their name added to the back of the event T-shirt, and if you raise $100 or more by then, you’ll get a free T-shirt. Fundraising, if you choose to do so, can continue until May 29, one month past the walk date. The UTD walk is planned for Saturday, April 29, 10:30 a.m.-noon beginning on the SU Mall/Plinth. To join the Student Affairs team, visit the AFSP website, then select “Register Now” and enter your contact information. Next select “Join a Team” and search for UT Dallas Student Affairs.
