ABOUT US

Building Leaders. Establishing Community. Declaring our Legacy.

The Legacy MEN at UNC Charlotte is dedicated to cultivating holistic, driven, and authentic leaders of all backgrounds.

Through professional development, campus engagement, networking, and Community service, we create opportunities for students to grow both personally and professionally while making a meaningful impact on the communities around them.

What we stand for:
→ Leadership — create confident and accountable leaders
→ Communities — Develop meaningful connections and stimulate engagement
→ Professional Growth — preparing students for postgraduate opportunities
→ Service — using our organization to positively impact our campus
→ Legacy — Establish a society that persists beyond our time at UNC Charlotte

Our goal is bigger than just building a community here at UNC Charlotte. We want to create experiences that bring awareness to individuals and produce opportunities for advocacy for students. Together, we encourage growth and leave a lasting impact for the aim of a better future. 

Why we run for BREAST CANCER

Every Step Counts!. 

Our 5K is more than a social run.

The Legacy MEN Breast Cancer Awareness 5K will bring students, families, organizations, and members of the Charlotte community together for a day centered around raising awareness for breast cancer as we support women's health and advocate for scientific research. 

Breast cancer has affected countless individuals and families, and we want to use our platform to help support the fight against it.

Your donation helps us accomplish two things:

 Create the Experience
Funds will help cover essential event expenses, including:

• Food for participants
• Water and hydration
• Event space and setup
• Music and entertainment
• Race-day supplies and course markers

 Make an Impact
A major portion of the funds raised will be donated to a breast cancer nonprofit, allowing every registration, donation, and contribution to help support a cause much larger than our organization.

Run With Us. Support With Us. Make an Impact With Us.

Whether you participate in the 5K, donate, sponsor the event, or simply help spread the word, every contribution moves us closer to our goal.

5K. One Community. One Cause. One Legacy.
