The race takes place on Saturday March 21st, 2009. It begins and ends at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Last year we were able to raise enough funds that we will soon be doing some renovations on our playground. This year we are being a little more ambitious. We all know how enriching music can be to a child both in their education and their general development. Just because a child has a hearing loss doesn’t mean that music is out of reach! With the help of technology and specialized training, children who are deaf and hard of hearing can learn to enjoy music, play instruments, and even sing. We would like to bring these opportunities to our children.
There are many different ways that you can help. You can join us in the competitive run/walk, join us in the non-competitive fun walk, just do some fundraising without walking, or send us a donation.
/ To fundraise only or participate in the non-competitive walk
1. First create your fundraising webpage.
