2021 Panther Dash for Progress 5k
April 9, 2021 @ 12:00AM — June 19, 2021 @ 11:30PM Central Time (US & Canada)
#PantherDash is a week long, global 5k that will be held June 12 - 19, 2021.
This format empowers participants to run or walk anywhere, anytime during that week! In 2020, it was decided that, in addition to raising funds for scholarships, the Panther Dash would be dedicated to momentums of progress going forward. Participants are highly encouraged to use this time for reflection, intention, and advocacy. No refunds. Every dollar raised during Panther Dash goes directly towards the Mary Peterson and Esther Materon-Arum Awards!

Why are we doing this again?
Proceeds from the Panther Dash for Progress will go towards scholarships provided by the Sigma Lambda Gamma Education Foundation (SLGEF), which serves to support scholastic achievement and continue the commitment to life-long learning and service through scholarships for sisters of Sigma Lambda Gamma. The SLGEF mobilizes the giving power of our donors to support scholastic achievement, provide and continue the commitment to life-long learning and service to the global community.
