On Sunday May 1, 2016, Trinity-Pawling School will host visitors to campus to celebrate the greater Pawling community. MayDay is a fundraising event to benefit two local charities.
Ryan’s Foundation is a non-profit organization founded with the mission to raise funds to support children living in the Hudson Valley that are afflicted with cancer or other life threatening diseases, by improving the quality of life for them and their family while they fight illness. The Pawling Resource Center provides food, rides to medical appointments, and the grocery store, loans for medical equipment, and many other services to community members at no charge.
Trinity-Pawling, in conjunction with Mizzentop Day School and Pawling Central School, welcome families and friends to the campus for a day of competition and fun. The main event for the day is a 7k “Extreme Cross Country” Race that will pose a challenge for even the most conditioned athletes. Hills (many!), mud, and physical challenges are part of the course that travels throughout the 180 acres of the campus. For those looking for a slightly more relaxed physical activity, there will be a walking course as well.
Students of all ages are encouraged to participate in the walk or the run, and there will also be a kids race (½ mile) on the track for the more competitive youngsters (under 10) in attendance. There will also be a food drive to collect dry goods for the Pawling Resource Center. Details at www.trinitypawling.org/mayday
Students and youngsters can enjoy inflatable slides, a climbing wall, obstacle courses, sticky walls, twister, jousting, a dunk tank and other interactive games throughout the duration of the afternoon. Lunch is included for registered race / walk participants as well as to the students and children who donate. There will be additional food for purchase from local vendors to compliment what is provided.
Campus opens at 10:00 AM for registration and food drops. The 7k Race will start at 1:00 PM and the May Day event will conclude at 4:00 PM. Registration for the walk, run, and kids events will be done online on the Ryan’s Foundation web site at a discounted rate or can be done on site at Trinity-Pawling School on Sunday, May 1. Pre-registration will be accessible online (and is highly encouraged!) by Monday, April 4.
Please spread the word, register, donate and join us for MayDay at Trinity-Pawling School to help two excellent organizations that make other lives better in our local community!
