The CROP Walk is a Church World Service event that raises funds for international development and sustainable agriculture projects as well as for local organizations.<\/p>\n
This year, Minneapolis CROP walk sought to revitalize the walk\u2019s popularity, so the Church World Service asked Augsburg to assist. Answering the call, President Pribbenow lent his name and his words to this year\u2019s walk. His reason? CROP walks were a cherished memory from his childhood.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was asked to be the honorary co-chair for the Twin Cities CROP walk, and I couldn’t be happier being associated with an important event on behalf of a great cause,\u201d says President Pribbenow. \u201cI urge all Augsburg students, faculty and staff to consider joining me and my family on the CROP walk on Sept. 30. It will be fun, and we’ll even get a bit of exercise!\u201d<\/p>\n
You can register online for the walk and to begin your efforts at fundraising.
