Holiday market day Nov. 3 benefits women's scholarships

(Nov. 3, 2003)--Visit the UTSA Office of the President from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today for the 2003 Holiday Magic Market Day.

The event in the president's suite, John Peace Library Building Room 4.04.08, raises scholarship money for UTSA women's athletics. There will be holiday shopping and refreshments including silent auction items, holiday arts and crafts, apple cider and hot chocolate.

The 16th annual State Farm Insurance 5K Run/Fun Walk (known as the Women's Walk) is another popular fund-raiser supporting UTSA women's athletics. The walk is at 8 a.m. Nov. 15 at UTSA Convocation Center on the 1604 Campus.

Funds raised during the walk help fund scholarships totaling $475,000 which provide an opportunity for nearly one hundred young women to attend college and compete in sports.

One hundred percent of the funds raised during the walk are used by UTSA to support women's scholarships in volleyball, basketball, softball, track and field, cross country and tennis.
