Why your organization should be part of the Walk for Women's Athletics.

The mission of the Southeast Missouri State University Department of Athletics is to provide opportunities academically and athletically that will prepare future leaders in all segments of society.  Southeast Missouri State is also committed to providing equitable opportunities for all of our student-athletes. 

To further this mission, Southeast Missouri State will be hosting the first annual Walk for Women's Athletics on April 26, 2008.  We would like to extend an opportunity for individuals and companies to partner together to enhance our women's athletics scholarship fund.  This is a great opportunity for your organization to support women's athletics and receive the marketing benefits resulting from the Walk's promotional activities. 

At Southeast Missouri State, the women's athletics program is more than practices, games, wins, and losses.  Our student-athletes are involved in many aspects of campus and community life.  They serve as wonderful role models for area youth.  Academics are a crucial ingredient in preparing our women for success.  Our female student-athletes have a cumulative grade point average of 3.4, and many have graduated with honors and gone on to be leaders in numerous professional fields.

Your contribution will not only be enhancing educational opportunities for our female student-athletes -- you will be promoting leadership, discipline, and teamwork for the development of our leaders of tomorrow.  We would like to encourage your business or organization to be part of this event and look forward to a successful Walk for Women's Athletics on April 26, 2008.

We look forward to hearing from you.
