Lap-A-Thon
We will celebrate the end of the season with a combined class Lap-A-Thon on Thursday, June 5th from 4:30-5:45PM.
We started the Lap-A-Thon a few years ago to help raise money for the family of one of our young runners who's mother was diagnosed with cancer. The mother would only accept the raised funds if we continued to raise money for other worthy causes. Since then, the kids have raised thousands of dollars for Sunset House, Spiritus Christi Mental Health Center, Cleft and Craniofacial Center at Golisano Children's Hospital, and Meg's Gift.
The kids will decide on this year's charity. Please feel free to send in ideas!
In May all the kids will get a sponsor sheet and they are welcome to ask friends, family, and neighbors to sponsor them. On the Lap-A-Thon date, we will have a warm up, and then we set the clock for 45 Minutes. Kids can run as many laps as they can. After the race, we celebrate with snacks and a finishers medal! I will be sending a signup sheet for families to bring snacks (not required).
