Womens Walk Festival 2011
GOAL $100,000.00
HISTORY OF THE WALK
When severe budget cuts threatened to end the Women's Athletic Program at UNO, Connie Claussen and a group of supporters developed the Women's Walk as a way to continue the athletic program for young women. The first walk in 1986 had 86 walkers and raised $12,000! Last year, the UNO Women's Walk had more than 1,000 participants and raised more than $300,000 gross.
PURPOSE
The UNO Women's Walk is the marquee fundraiser for women's athletics at UNO. The dollars raised from the Women's Walk provide scholarships for our female student athletes. The 26th UNO Women's Walk Festival will be held on Saturday, April 30, 2011. Diet Pepsi, as our Presenting Sponsor, ($30,000) encourages its fellow business colleagues to partner with UNO and support this event. The UNO Women's Walk is the largest event of its kind in the United States.

Carly Patterson won a gold medal in the Individual All-Around gymnastics, only the second American woman to do so, and the first American woman to ever win the Olympic all-around title in a non-boycotted Olympic Games. Patterson again won the all-around medal at the prestigious American Cup in 2004. In the first major meet of the Olympic year, she swept the competition, winning all four events and the all-around. Soon after the Olympic games ended, it was discovered that Patterson had several bulging disks in her lower back that had gone unnoticed. She announced her intention to take time off from the sport to rehabilitate her back, but she officially retired from the sport in 2006 without ever participating in another major competition.
After retiring from Gymnastics, Patterson expressed interest in becoming a professional singer in a March 2005 interview. On December 18, 2005, she announced that she signed a demo contract for four songs with Papa Joe's Records, owned by Joe Simpson, father of Jessica and Ashlee Simpson. On February 4, 2008, Carly signed a recording contract with MusicMind Records. She currently as of Feb 2010 has a full-length album available on iTunes .
