Join the Ohio Wesleyan Athletic Council (OWAC) and Active Minds OWU in participating in a friendly fundraising competition to raise money towards mental health advocacy and suicide prevention. Starting Fri., March 29, and continuing all of next week (April 1-5), OWAC will join other Student-Athlete Advisory Committees from rival NCAC conference institutions in a \u201cChange War\u201d against schools from the Presidents\u2019 Athletic Conference to be crowned the winner.<\/p>\n
We will be hosting a \u201cRummage Sale\u201d of a limited number of items donated via the athletics department towards this initiative. Be sure to stop by this Friday, and next week, in Ham-Wil from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to learn about on-campus resources for mental wellness, as well as see if you can find a hidden treasure to aid in our effort to help the NCAC win the war!<\/p>\n
Through four years of this competition, the NCAC\/PAC Change War has raised over $18,000 for four different foundations. All funds raised this year will be directed to the Active Minds, the nation’s premier nonprofit organization supporting mental health awareness and education for students.<\/p>\n
