School Chest Event Feature

Join us for our Run For Change race on Sunday, November 5th to support the local organization, Gigi's Playhouse! Gigi's Playhouse encourages people to change the way the world views Down Syndrome and they want to send a global message of acceptance to all! They want to see a world where individuals with Down Syndrome are welcomed in every environment. The event will take place at 9:00 AM on Adams Field at Deerfield High School. This event is fun for all ages and will include two options, a color run or a normal 5k for whichever one you would like to participate in! Tickets are available now at schoolchest.org!
