I am reaching out to you with excitement and a sense of purpose as I embark on a meaningful journey to support my 4-year-old son Ignacio’s school. I have decided to run the Brooklyn Half Marathon to contribute to the fundraising efforts that ensure a nurturing and enriching environment for Ignacio and his classmates in their Spanish immersion setting. Every step I take in the marathon will be a stride towards fostering an atmosphere where children can develop and explore their potential. Your generous donations will make a significant impact, helping to sustain and enhance the educational experience for Ignacio and others. I kindly ask for your support in this endeavor, as together we can make a positive difference in shaping the future for these young minds. Thank you for considering contributing to this worthy cause.
On Saturday, March 21 we’ll be running or walking the Brooklyn Spring 5K, 10K a wonderful event that will allow all our team to pick the race that is best for them.
Friday, April 24 is La Vuelta. We’ll gather at One World Project and the kids (and some grownups) will run, walk or scoot along Vanderbilt, down East 4th, along Greenwood Avenue, and up East 3rd. After the loop, we’ll gather on the patio for a party with upcycled medals for all participants. In Spanish, la vuelta means loop, like the one we’ll do around the block. Vuelta also means return. If your children have grown and you are no longer part of our preschool or after school program please consider La Vuelta an invitation to return to OWP for a visit. We would love to see you!
On Sunday, April 26 we will join half marathoners for NYC Runs, an epic running journey. The route starts in North Brooklyn and winds around the waterfront taking you under the historic Williamsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn Bridges. From there, the route heads up the grand concourses of Fulton Street & Flatbush Avenue before passing through Grand Army Plaza and into historic brownstone Brooklyn. We will turn into Prospect Park at mile 10 to complete our 13.2 miles.
With love and care we have built a nurturing school and community center committed to learning. We want to sustain what makes One World Project so special and grow our scholarship fund and support our Universal PreK program so that OWP is accessible to more families. Together we are working to raise $50,000.
We truly appreciate anything you are able to give.
