Please join Howard University Hospital (HUH) in its quest to raise much-needed funds during Howard University Homecoming Weekend. In support of this effort, show your support by registering for the Fit For Life Fun Run 5K Run/Walk, happening at Anacostia Park on Friday, October 24th. Registration started at 9:15 AM, and the race begins at 10:00 AM. Registration for the Fun Run is free; however, your donations to the cause and mission of Howard University Hospital are encouraged and appreciated.

As the nation's only teaching hospital on the campus of a Historically Black University, HUH has been a beacon of hope and a provider of exceptional care for over 150 years. Born from Freedmen's Hospital, its legacy is built on training thousands of the nation's Black physicians and serving as a vital health safety net for the community. This event aims to mobilize broad community support and secure essential funding for the hospital's future.

"For over 150 years, Howard University Hospital has been the heartbeat of health equity in our community. The need for Howard University Hospital's unique role has never been greater,” said Roger Mitchell, President of Howard University Hospital. "We are calling on our community, our alumni, and our partners to stand with us.

Additional Homecoming Weekend fundraising efforts include the Pre-Game Bison Brunch for friends of Howard University Hospital. This event happens prior to the big homecoming game against rival Morgan State University from 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM (game starts at 3:30 PM), at a private location. Therefore, there are two powerful ways to demonstrate your support for Howard University Hospital and/or if you can't attend either, you can simply donate. Every little bit helps, and there is no more fitting time than Homecoming—when our Bison family returns to the yard—to rally around this vital institution. Every step taken and every dollar raised is a direct investment in health equity and excellence."
