We value community engagement and support, which is why we are thrilled to announce that this year’s race will benefit the Lawnside Scholarship Club.
This race aims to celebrate Juneteenth, an important milestone in African American history. Participants will raise funds to support the Lawnside Public School girls’ and Boys’ basketball teams.
By donating to our basketball program, you’re doing far more than helping a team — you’re investing in the growth, health, and future of our students. Participation in school sports offers a wide range of benefits for young people:
- Physical and mental health: Regular exercise promotes overall wellness, while the structure of team sports supports discipline and stress management.
- Character development: Teamwork, leadership, and perseverance are just a few of the life skills cultivated on the court.
- Academic success: Studies show student-athletes often perform better in school due to the responsibility and time management skills they develop.
- Safe, positive engagement: Athletic programs offer a safe and constructive environment for students after school hours.
The race will include refreshments, music, T-Shirts, and medals and more! To register for the race, please sign up here.
