SPORTSCENTER PLANS TWO DAYS OF FUN IN APRIL AND MAY
4-10-06
This spring, the VCU SportsCenter will host two events for the Richmond community. On April 28th, Friday Night Under the Lights will take place and on May 13th, the CapCity Challenge will follow. Both events promise to be fun-filled experiences for those taking part.
Friday Night Under the Lights is a field day, which follows up the three First Step events that occurred in November, December, and February this past year. First Step is a program that provides Richmond youth with the opportunity to visit a college campus and allows them to see that there is more to college than athletics. Approximately 150 kids from Richmond and the surrounding area after-school programs visited VCU in the previous three First Step events. Now, a field day is planned in order to get all of those kids back on campus for a day of fun-filled activities. Friday Night Under the Lights will take place on Friday, April 28th at Cary Street Field.
The CapCity Challenge is an event designed for businesses in the Richmond area to enjoy a day of fun, challenging, and friendly competition among other area businesses. This event is an opportunity for area businesses and corporations to interact in a way not typical of today’s business world. Each business competing will have a team consisting of 10 employees with a minimum of 3 females. The CapCity Challenge will encompass a variety of sport-related and challenging events in which each team will compete to earn points.
The CapCity Challenge will be held on Saturday, May 13th at VCU’s Sports Backers Stadium, rain or shine. The winner of the CapCity Challenge will receive a championship trophy and a Richmond Braves Superbox package, as well as earn the reputation of being Richmond’s most athletic business. The proceeds from the CapCity Challenge will benefit the VCU Massey Cancer Center and the VCU SportsCenter Scholarship Fund.
