2024 STROLLING WITH ANGELS 5k!

Thank you to the 144 in-person participants
and 38 virtual strollers who joined us for the
2024 Strolling with Angels 5k.

Another big thank you to our sponsors, to our basket donors and to those who participated in our raffle.

Through everyone’s generous support, we were able to raise over $18,000 to fund four nursing scholarships and also grow our endowment to fund
nursing scholarships in perpetuity.

We have a few photos below from
the 2024 Strolling with Angels:

A big thank you to all of you who joined us for our 2023 Strolling with Angels 5k

OUR MISSION

In Memory of Chris Back

The SandAngel Foundation changes lives by providing needs-based scholarships for nursing students and by supporting Cincinnati area schools who educate and enable their students to become society’s future nurses.  

With your help, we:

  • Funded four Scholarships fo  University of Cincinnati Nursing Students who had significant financial need over the last seven years!

  • Established the Chris Back Memorial Endowment to help fund nursing scholarships in perpetuity and set goals to aggressively grow this endowment, which is now nearly $50,000.

     

  • Supported hundreds of under-served students at Riverview East, a K-12 public school focused on medical careers, through our holiday stocking program.
