In the spring semester of 2010, the students, faculty, staff and IHM sisters of Immaculata University participated in a challenge: to complete 100 miles of exercise (walking, running, biking, swimming, etc.) over a period of nine weeks. The Office of Health Services and the Athletics Department worked together to promote fun and healthy levels of exercise that anyone could achieve. Immaculata University also made a pledge that for every 100 miles of exercise completed, 10 cans of food would be donated to the West Chester Food Cupboard, a local food donation center. The food was delivered on July 7, 2010 to a very grateful Food Cupboard.
