Proud of you. Go Frida!
Go Frida Go! Vamos Frida Vamos!
Dear friends and family,
On May 3rd as part of our Brooklyn Half weekend, Frida and Hugo are once again running a ½ mile Fun Run (around the block of Frida’s former pre-school and current after-school) to raise money for the amazing school, One World Project.
OWP is a Spanish immersion preschool that prioritizes building community as they develop global citizens and stewards of the environment. Unfortunately, the DOE’s reimbursement rate for its Universal Pre-K program still does not cover the costs that make the program so special (music classes, a community garden, healthcare for the staff). OWP is committed to keeping its UPK program at no cost to families but it cannot do it without additional financial support.
The students are raising money to ensure this school can continue to offer high quality programs, fully support its teachers, and offer scholarships to ensure socioeconomic diversity of the community.
We write to ask you to join us in supporting OWP and, if you are able, donate to the Fun Run fundraiser (tax deductible) to support this very special place. No donation amount is too small.
Thank you so much,
Frida & Hugo (and family)
On Sunday, January 7 at noon we’ll brave the cold at Coney Island and jump in the ocean for our Bano Polar to support OWP.
On Friday, May 3 as part of our Half Weekend. We’ll gather at One World Project and the kids (and some grownups) will run or walk or scoot along Vanderbilt, down East 3rd, up, along Greenwood Avenue, and up East 4th. We’ll end the race with a celebration and everyone will get an upcycled medal of participation.
On Saturday, May 4 we will join half marathoners for an epic running journey.
The route starts at the 69th Street Pier and goes along the Hudson river just under the Verrazano Bridge in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
With love and care we have built a nurturing school and community center committed to learning. We want to sustain what makes OWP so special and grow our community fund so that OWP is accessible to more families. Together we’ll be working to raise $60,000 to support OWP.
We truly appreciate anything you are able to give.
