As part of the Mardy Fish Children's Foundation Achievable Dreams program, 22 students trained for their goal of completing a 5k run.
For six months, a group of 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students from Dodgertown Elementary trained for their ultimate goal of running a 5k. The group, known as “Dodger Dashers,” completed their goal on Saturday, February 9, 2013. The 5k was held at South Beach Park and was sponsored by The Realtor's Association who donated proceeds to Habitat for Humanity.
The Children were supported in the race by parents, school staff, and even the principal, Takeisha Harris, of Dodgertown Elementary.
