This year’s edition of the Panther Prowl attracted more than 1,700 participants and volunteers on a sunny but chilly Saturday.
Some ran, some walked, some dressed in costumes and some walked on four legs — that would be the dogs. But all helped raise money for current and future UWM students. All the money raised from Panther Prowl goes toward scholarships. This year’s totals are still being added up, but more than $350,000 has been raised over the 15 years of Panther Prowl.
