Do you enjoy the feeling of contributing to something meaningful and knowing that your effort will help out hundreds of children and families?
Please consider being a volunteer. Your generosity will help us continue to provide excellent early childhood education and keep tuition affordable for families from all economic backgrounds.
If you are not able to volunteer on race day, you can still help us by spreading the word pre-race or with a donation.
