🥤 Friendly grade-level competition with bragging rights AND free slushies on the line!

K-12 Students:
Register under your grade level, then ask family and friends to sponsor your participation—just like a Read-A-Thon or Jump Rope for Heart! Every donation helps your grade compete for the top spot while supporting a great cause.

Adults:
We'd love to have you join us too! Instead of paying a registration fee, simply use the registration link to sponsor a student or the grade level of your choice and participate in the 5K or 1-Mile walk/run.

Let's come together as a school community, celebrate the start of another great year, and make memories while supporting our students!
