ASL-for-All 5K (Walk, Run & Roll)

If you are unable to join us during the event or would like to contribute more, the Kansas School for the Deaf Endowment and the Museum of Deaf History, Arts, & Culture, Inc. cordially invites you to make a gift towards our 2nd annual ASL-for-All Walk/ Run/ Roll. This event takes place on Sept 28th, 2024 at Frontier Park in Olathe where we will create and promote shared signing communities where BOTH Deaf people and non-deaf use sign language to communicate with each other in the areas where they live, work, congregate, or play. Following the 5K race, we will host an ASL Performance on a stage at the park.  Proceeds from this event will be split between the two organizations (more information about the organizations below).
