Made in the Shade

What are you doing the morning of Saturday, September 24, 2011? We’d love to have you join us for the annual Made in the Shade Walk, Run, Roll fundraiser at Thomas Beach on Lake Calhoun! This is a very fun event and all funds raised by Wingspan go directly to the people we serve.

As the title states, you can walk, run, or roll the 5k (three mile) trail around Lake Calhoun. Breakfast snacks, coffee, and water are provided before the race. A celebration follows the walk with lunch, water, and fun music by the Moss Piglets. T-shirts are given to participants who collect $25 or more in pledges. To pre-register go to www.madeintheshade.org.

If you can’t join us, we hope you’ll support Made in The Shade by contributing to Wingspan. Each Wingspan home decides how to use the funds they’ve raised. Some of the items purchased last year include a Wii game, record player, charcoal grill, furniture, a TV, and help with vacation funding.
