Mission, Vision and Values

Mission
The Eastern Washington University 5K Hunger Run/Walk aimed to provide opportunities to
inspire the people of Cheney to practice healthy life choice. We also strived to incorporate the
Cheney Food Bank by having participants donate two cans of food which would help feed the
underprivileged in our area. There are many runs/walks in and around Cheney, but our 5K
Hunger Run/Walk promoted local business in Cheney and incorporated a food drive with
proceeds going to the Cheney Food Bank.
Vision
Our vision was to create a 5K run/walk that the whole community could enjoy. This event
invited participants to enjoy a nice 5K route around Cheney. Our event teamed up with Zentropa
Pizzeria & Pub, a local Cheney business that provided a start and finishing point for the race.

Needs Assessment
The EWU Hunger Run/Walk was an event that was chosen by the students of Eastern
Washington University RCLS Programing class. We all started with our own ideas of how we
could best make a difference in our community with the time we had available during winter
quarter. We inevitably came up the 5K run, but the problem was who were we going to help,
and how. We tried kicking around a few ideas like a sock drive, or a diaper dash, however, as a
class we eventually came to the conclusion that what the underprivileged people in our
community needed the most was food. So the idea for the EWU 5K hunger Run/walk was born.
We felt that it was important to encourage the community to unite by having an event
that everyone could participate in. Participants showed their support for those in need by
donating 2 cans of food to the Cheney Food Bank. By participating they also had an opportunity
to show their pride in their community. It is easy for us to forget that there are people out
there that are not as fortunate. Those that are in need of things such as food and by holding
this event we were able to cultivate larger community awareness. We were also able to gain
support from local businesses such as Zentropas Pizzeria & Pub, Papa Murphys Pizza, and
Rokkos.
It may seem that our only goal was to raise food for the Cheney food bank, but that is
far from our final goal. We were also attempting to motivate people to get outside and stretch
those legs after what seemed to be a long cold relentless winter. It was just as important to us

that we spread the message of the importance of making healthy lifestyle choices. Our goal was
to get as many people as possible from all ages and backgrounds out and exercising.
We also intended to get people to cultivate an understanding that in the Cheney community
nobody stands alone, and if we work together as a community we can feed those in need.

Program Description
The EWU 5K Hunger Run/Walk was held in the small beautiful town of Cheney. We
encouraged everyone to mark the date Saturday, March 8, 2014 on their calendars, and hope that
the weather was good. Registration started at 9 am and the race started at 10am, and the race both
started and ended at Zentropa Pizzeria & Pub. A two cans donation allowed admission into the
5K Hunger Run/Walk around the city of Cheney.
All of the cans that were donated by the wonderful participants were given to the Cheney
Food Bank. This was a chance for people to give back to their community and come together and
enjoy all of what Cheney has to offer.
This event has been carefully planned from the full day layout of the event to the creative
design set up. This layout will guide you through our program planning. The groups that put each
detail on this event will explain their duties and process that helped make this event possible for
our community. Enjoy!

Operations Summary of Events

Our journey from the first day of class until our event was not all smooth sailing. The
task of getting the proper approval for this event as well as just figuring out who to talk to was a
huge feat in itself. We started by talking to the director of the Student Activities, Involvement,
and Leadership (SAIL), Stacey Reece. She was able to give us the Event Registration form to get
the ball rolling. This form tells the school the Who, What, where, and When of our event. It also
allows us to request the supplies we need from the school such as tables and garbage cans.
What we didnt know was there were additional risk management forms that had to be
filled out and turned into Tom Shaffer who is a events planning supervisor. We were told that the
approval process for all these forms could take weeks and we would also need insurance and
would need to abide by rules set forth by the school in order to get approved. So we started
working on a plan B. We contacted a local pizza and pub call Zentropa. They told us we could
hold our event at their business. We found a route that didnt go through campus with the help of
Chris Cindrics and his Flightless Birds Running Club.
We thought by moving the race from on campus to off we would avoid much of the
waiting we were experiencing from the school forms approval process. After going ahead with
this plan for a week, we found out from LeeAnn Case, the Associate Vice President, (the one
who approves the Event Registration Form) that because we are affiliated with the school, we
could not avoid the paperwork approvals whether the event was on or off campus. We talked as a
class and decided that we would keep the event at Zentropa.
In order to try and shorten the approval process, Our professor and a member of our
group had a meeting with LeeAnn Case. They were able to give her all the information she
needed, and as long as the City approved the event she would give the schools approval and
cover the event under her insurance. We found out that the insurance coverage would cost, but
that the SAIL was willing to pay for it. We submitted the form the city needed the next day and
received written approval back quickly.

30

We now just had to make sure our event followed all the guidelines the school had laid
out such as a water station half way through the race, first aid stations and those trained in first
aid here on the route, that the route had to be adequately marked and may other things to insure
the races we safe. Despite all the hiccups, the event was now approved by the school as well as
the city! We also got word that we were insured! On top of finalizing the event approval, our
group worked on making the registration form that had to meet school standards. We made
posters, got vests and pennies, organized the supply list from the school, and much more.
Overall we had a big job to do in order for his event to happen, but because of our hard work,
persistence, and organization, everything was approved and ready for race day!

Dine In or Carry Out

We choose this venue for a number of reasons. From the beginning owners Josh and
Tegan Baldwin were more than supportive and helping in letting us host our event at their
business. It was a nice central location that provided many route options. We were able to use the
tables for registration and evaluations as well as house the participants before and after the race.
We helped bring them business with hungry runners sticking around for a bite to eat, but they
gave us so much more. Overall it was a win-win for both parties and we are so thankful Zentropa
was helpful and willing.

that could happen at the 5K. The risk management team will establish a schedule so that
adequate staff supervision is provided though out the event.

53

Event Response Training

If an emergency situation happens the first things you need to do are stop and take a
breath. Then assess or size-up the situation. Ask yourself if your help will improve the situation
or add to it. If the situation calls for it dial 911 immediately but if not, start by finding out if the
victim is responsive. If so, ask them if they would like your help. If they are in the middle of the
road or in a place where they are in danger, help them to a safer position. If they are unconscious
and unresponsive you dont want to risk further injury, especially head, neck or spinal, by
moving them so call 911 and set up cones or at least divert potential hazards around and make
the area safe. If they are unconscious, have extreme bleeding, having a heart attack or any other
life threatening situations call 911 immediately. Stop severe bleeding or perform CPR if
necessary and do not stop until someone more qualified relieves you. Remember, you do not
have to give aid, be sure to ask for their permission first, once you begin helping do not stop until
more qualified personnel relieve you and when in doubt, as to whether the situation is life
threatening or not, just call 911.

Evaluation
Evaluation Team GoalsThe evaluation teams objectives are:

to provide an accurate and realistic portrayal of the success and fluidity of the
2014 5k Hunger Run as seen by the runners/participants

to provide an accurate and realistic portrayal of the success and fluidity of the
2014 5k Hunger Run as seen by the coordinators of the event

to provide to food to The Cheney food bank

As a team, our goals are:

to compile a survey that accurately measures the participants experience

at the event

to find how each group measures success

to achieve success throughout the event.

main goal is to create a successful event, with an instilled purpose behind

it.

62

IntroductionThe evaluation group consists of Hannah Keogh, Chelsey Pangborn, Laura Simpson, and
Kaileigh Wendt. During the event, we will be dispersing surveys to participants of the 5k, and
collecting the data to be later analyzed. The data that we collect will be used to determine
primarily whether our class reached our goal of a successful event. We will be using a group
survey that will involve both quantitive and qualitive questions, as well as Likert scales. We
chose to incorporate both quantitive and qualitive data into our surveys, because it gives us a
better description of how well the event went, by both using words and numbers. The surveys
will be voluntary, and handed out to be completed after the participant is done with the race. As
an incentive to fill out the surveys, we will be giving out raffle tickets for various prizes after the
event is completed by all participants. After our event, we will compile the data and present our
analysis of whether or not our class determined the success of our event.

63

TimelineThree weeks prior to event:

Survey compilation ideas. As a group we will come up with ideas and questions to add to
our final survey that we will be giving out to the participants of the 5k.

Two weeks prior to event:

Questions formed for main survey. By week 7, we will have the final draft of our survey
compiled and formalized.

Prizes finalized. We will have our prizes picked out for our raffle at the end of the 5k, and
will have also finalized who in our group will be doing what activities during the raffle.

One week prior to event:

Survey finalized and printed. By week 8, we will have all of our surveys printed and
ready to disperse upon our event.

Week of event:

Week 9 is also the week of our event so we will be participating in our event as well as
dispersing our surveys to not only participants, but to our groups in class as well, and
helping host the raffle.

Put together data from 5k. After completion of the 5k, we will compile our data that we
collected at our event.

64

Analysis of TR groupAs an Evaluation group, we were able to successfully put together three surveys; one survey prerace for our class members, one survey post race for participants, and a final survey for our class
members. By having three surveys, we received an immense amount of feedback. With the
feedback acquired by each survey, we then put the data into readable charts and documented our
success of the EWU Hunger Run 5k. As a whole, the class feeling was of accomplishment, and
success. Communication seemed to be one of the only barriers in our way, as a whole for the
class. Another barrier that the class had as a whole was work-load responsibility. Overall, this
project showed us all that we are going to be working with different personalities in any job that
we have throughout our lives. We were all able to work together despite different personalities,
and make a family friendly event.
Analysis of EWU Hunger Run 5kWe as a class were able to host a 5k and give back 419 items to the Cheney Food Bank. On the
day of the event, everything ran smoothly, with every member of our class contributing to the
fluidity of the overall experience. Although there were some shortcomings with equipment being
provided by the University, we were able to sufficiently adapt, and make use of the equipment
we did have. Through observation, it was clear to see that those who participated in the 2014 5k
Hunger Run were enjoying the opportunity to, not only contribute to helping the Cheney Food

65
