At IUNited, we believe in creating real impact beyond the classroom, and this summer, we’re putting our feet to the pavement for a powerful cause.
We’re excited to be participating in the Go for Gary 5K: Family Fun Run, a fundraiser and community event organized by medical students at the Indiana University School of Medicine–Northwest in partnership with the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana. This initiative supports over 100,000 individuals facing food insecurity in Lake and Porter Counties.
But this isn’t just about a run; it’s about rallying together as a community to fight hunger and bring tangible change to the lives of our neighbors. All proceeds raised go directly toward providing nutritious meals and supporting local families.
Our team’s goal is to raise $3,000, which will provide over 6,000 meals for those in need. If we reach this amount, IUNited will be recognized as a Platinum Sponsor, with our name featured on event shirts and signage—a small but meaningful symbol of what we can achieve when we come together.
