Discussion 
 
3.  
2024 Fun Run Review and 2025 Planning  
The committee discussed the 2024 Fun Run.  One of the issues identified is that many 
schools brought less students than they signed up for, which would have decreased the 
students on the waitlist.  The committee suggested phone calls to each school next year.  
Another suggestion was a quiet finish line for those with sensory sensitivities.  2025 date is 
February 27. 
 
4.  
2025 Disability Awareness Awards 
The committee suggested adding a category for Advocate or Ally of the Year.  More 
presence on social media was requested, and more outreach to get more nominations.   
 
5. 
2024 Golf Challenge 
The date for the 2024 event is Thursday, November 14.  The committee requested raising 
the title sponsorship to $7500 and fees to $110 individual and $425 for a foursome.  Further 
discussion to be had about course contests. 
 
6.
