About the event

2019 Pac-12 Challenge: Recreation Movement

It’s that time of year when Cougs have the chance to take on the rest of the Pac-12 to show off who has the most dedication to living a healthy, active life.  Move to reduce hunger in our community by logging minutes for the Pac-12 Recreation Movement!  Pac-12 schools have partnered with Starkist to raise money for campus and community food programs this fall.  From October 22-26, WSU has the opportunity to earn $2000 for the Cougs Feeding Cougs program, which provides meals for students in need, by logging fitness minutes at www.pac12challenge.org.  Every minute counts!

October 22-26 – Log your minutes to help earn meals for students in need

Log fitness minutes at the SRC or Chinook Center October 22-26 to show your support for WSU and meet our goal to earn funds for Cougs Feeding Cougs.

To log minutes for WSU:

  • Students can create an account at www.pac12challenge.org
  • Enter your fitness activity each day, from October 22-26

Join us for special events and activities during the week
