Celebrating Athletic Excellence at the University of North Florida
This Saturday, the University of North Florida (UNF) invites you to a special screening of the "Beyond Triathlon" documentary at the Lazzara Performing Arts Center, from 2-5 p.m. This event isn't just a showcase of athletic prowess; it's a celebration of the spirit and determination of UNF's female student-athletes, with all proceeds going directly to fund their scholarships.
A Spotlight on Women in Sports
"Beyond Triathlon" is more than just a film; it's a narrative that weaves the inspiring stories of women who have shaped the sports world and their communities. Featuring sports legends like Dottie Dorian, Celeste Callahan, Nancy Hogshead, and Jacksonville's own Mayor Donna Deegan, the documentary is narrated by Sika Henry, a trailblazer as the first African American female professional triathlete. This event, sponsored by Bacardi and presented by the Jacksonville Film Festival, promises to be a poignant tribute to these formidable women.
