Fabulous Turnout for our first Live event!
About 25 people were present, including a surprise or two, and our donation jar received over $40. The whole event was done by noon, including an introduction by our current Executive Director, Tanya, and a starting flag sendoff by our Executive Director Emeritus and Founder, Marshall, who was there with co-founder & wife, Terry. Thanks to all who helped, whether by sponsorship, prayers, attendance, or encouragement.
Thanks to our First Aid Person, and more thanks that we needed her encouragement rather than her expertise. It was a safe event, and we like those! Thanks to our photographer, we’re looking forward to great pictures soon! Thanks to our committee, who were hurdle-jumping troopers for the whole thing – so far — 🙂
If you’re a bit sad you weren’t in on this, rest assured that our Virtual 5K is still open until the end of September. Sign up at www.DeafKidsConnect.com/5K and do your own event in your place on your schedule. We call it 5K Your Way for just that reason!
Most importantly, we want deaf & hard-of-hearing children and their families to connect with one another and with Jesus. That’s why we’re here, why we need your support, and why we appreciate your involvement.
