Whole U Upcoming Summer Events

Signature Whole U Virtual Summer Opportunists:

Summer Fitness Challenge: This eight-week program will have you moving more, eating better, and trying new things. You can take part on your own, pick a partner, or form a team. (Your partner or teammates can be anyone you want to workout with: UW colleagues, friends, or family members.) We will keep it interesting with free passes to local fitness facilities, invitations to group workouts, and weekly tips. Register now.

UW Stair Challenge – 500K stairs in 24 hrs: On April 22, The Whole U was blown away by the results of our stair challenge at Harborview Medical Center. In just 24 hours, 500 participants climbed over 275k stairs! Now we are bringing the stair climb challenge to the rest of UW. On Wednesday, July 15, help us reach 500,000 stairs in 24 hours. Need more inspiration? The Whole U team will be out and about with surprises for our stair climbers all day long. We have partnered with Movo, makers of a new fitness band, and they have donated  100 wristband trackers for us to giveaway in addition to Whole U swag. Register now and you’ll receive an email in early July with more details on how to win a Movo Wave, where to find the best stair climbs across UW campuses, and how to report your stair total.

Serve with us: Special event in July – UW Night at FareStart Restaurant – A Dinner to Transform Lives

The Whole U is kicking off a wonderful partnership with FareStart, a culinary job training and placement program for homeless and disadvantaged individuals, on Thursday, July 23. We will have a special Guest Chef Night featuring our very own UW Club Executive Chef Jon Maley. We’re planning to fill the restaurant with UW staff and faculty and their friends and families.

We need your help! We need 8 volunteers to help The Whole U team serve meals for the evening.

  • Your hard work will be rewarded with a tasty meal!
  • No heavy lifting or previous experience required.
  • Volunteers are required to arrive at 4 p.m. and will work until 10 p.m.
  • FareStart asks each group to recruit two diners per volunteer to come to support Guest Chef Night.

Please contact Chiara at chiarai@uw.edu if you have any questions or if you’d like to volunteer. Register here if you’d like to attend the dinner as a guest.
