BRATTLEBORO-We thank the community for supporting the Winston Prouty Center's first annual Foliage 5K fundraiser that was held on our campus Oct. 26. The event included the 5K Trail Run through our forest and fields and the half-mile Little Leaf Dash for young children. It raised $7,000, and we're excited to build on this success next year.
We are grateful to our generous sponsors and to the local businesses and organizations who supported our fundraiser by donating products and services. Lastly, a shout-out to our staff members and everyone in the Prouty community for donating items and contributing their time.
The event drew more than 125 people from three states, including 57 runners aged 10 to 78 years old, and 15 Little Leaf dashers. After the race, participants enjoyed s'mores and cider by the bonfire, lunch, and family-friendly fall-themed crafts and activities.
Our community's generosity empowers the Winston Prouty Center to promote the success of local children and families. Thank you for supporting us!
