In the wake of the Haitian earthquakes, UMass Dining hosted the first-annual 5k Dash & Dine to raise money to help Haiti, promote health and fitness at the university community, and foster appreciation for the campus. An authentic Haitian lunch and health fair followed the race, and participants were encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to benefit the Amherst Survival Center.
The second-annual UMass 5k Dash & Dine occurred on March 26th, 2011 with proceeds benefitting the Amherst Survival Center. Sabine Holub, wife of former UMass Amherst Chancellor Robert C. Holub, participated as the honorary chair of the event.
