Description
Join us on Saturday, April 8th in Mandarin for the The Learning Experience 5K & 1M Races. This is our inaugural event and will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The run will be held at Rogers Park in Mandarin. Each participant will receive a medal, t-shirt for top 30 finishers and a swag bag for the 1 Mile and 5k. Awards will be given to the overall top three finishers of the 5k and 1 Mile run.
Free food and frozen treats will be provided by Chick Fil A and Kona Ice.
The 5k will begin at 8am and the 1 mile at 9am. Registration will begin on race day at 7am.
The first 100 participants to sign up receive free entry.
At The Learning Experience, our philanthropy program teaches children that: It doesn’t matter how big or small you are, it’s the size of your heart that matters.
Developed in partnership with Make-A-Wish, Let’s Grant Wishes is an initiative that educates children about the powerful life lesson of philanthropy. Throughout the month of April, children will learn about the importance of helping others and the positive difference they can make in the world when they work together.
Your donation will help us in granting wishes for deserving children in our communities. Help us show our little learners the positive impact they can have on the lives of other children and the world by supporting Let’s Grant Wishes and Make-A-Wish today. We ask every participant to help us reach our goal of $10,000 by donating $20. Please use the link below, Thank you!
We would love to thank our local Amazon chapter, HJX1, for partnering with TLE and Make-A-Wish to sponsor this event. This race would not be possible without their generous contributions!
