Hit the Bricks (For Brian Piccolo)

The Women's Basketball team groups together for a Hit the Bricks photoThis Thursday, Wake Forest University students, faculty and staff will compete in an eight-hour relay race around Hearn Plaza beginning at 11 am at Hearn Plaza (The Quad).

The is an admission cost to participate – but absolutely free to those who wish to observe and cheer. More information is available here.

Hit the Bricks has raised nearly $100,000 since the first race in 2003. All of the proceeds will be donated to the Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund.
