The Holy Half, now in its sixth consecutive year, is a half-marathon run throughout Notre Dame's campus. Last year over 600 runners, including both students and members of the South Bend Community, participated in the event. Our goal this year is to have 1,000 runners! The race will be chip timed by River City Race Management.

The race is hosted by the Class of 2011 with the help of many volunteers. The event is fully sanctioned by the University of Notre Dame. This year's race takes place on April 11th, 2010.

The Broadmoor Improvement Association (BIA) is one of the oldest neighborhood associations in New Orleans. Established in 1930 as the Broadmoor Civic Improvement Association to address the needs of the developing Broadmoor neighborhood, it was incorporated in 1970 as the Broadmoor Improvement Association, Inc. to stop "blockbusting" in Broadmoor, at the time a well-established, multi-racial/multi-ethnic community already living in harmony.

After Katrina, the BIA was faced with an extraordinary challenge: to organize and lead the residents of Broadmoor in a coordinated and effective rebuilding effort. The BIA is the community vehicle for residents to participate in the planning and implementation of recovery projects. The mission statement for the BIA was modified to incorporate the mission of rebuilding the physical and social aspects of neighborhood:

"The vision for Broadmoor is to fully repopulate the neighborhood, rebuild the infrastructure and institutions, and develop a safer, stronger community that is committed to providing a better quality of life for all residents."

Led by the BIA, residents came together in a comprehensive, resident-driven planning process to create a redevelopment plan for the neighborhood. The BIA works closely with the city government and has represented Broadmoor residents in numerous cases concerning zoning and other issues.
