Calling all Dawgs! The Whole U is thrilled to invite you to virtually come together with fellow Huskies from across the University of Washington on August 11 for Husky Strong Day. This year has been full of challenges, but Husky Strong Day will be a virtual celebration of health, movement, and exercise for your whole family on Zoom. 

If this year has taught us anything, it’s that we are stronger when we come together as a community. In that spirit, Husky Strong Day is benefiting the COVID-19 Employee Emergency Fund with a suggested $5 donation for all participants. 

The fund supports employees facing financial hardships brought on by critical, temporary and unforeseen circumstances during the COVID-19 public health crisis. Register today and help us reach our donation goal of $7,500! To date, over 700 UW faculty and staff have already registered, and have brought in over $3,000.
