Saturday, September 28th, 2024
Join us for our SECOND annual ASL for All 5K fundraiser to foster Olathe as a "Shared Signing Community"! Shared signing communities are localities where both Deaf and non-Deaf community members use a shared visual language to communicate with one another. Non-signers are welcomed!
This SECOND annual ASL for All 5k fundraiser will take place on the Indian Creek Trail leading from and returning to Frontier Park. Following the 5K race, there will be two Fun-Runs for children at the park in conjunction with an ASL Festival area offering booths. ASL Performances will be provided at the conclusion of the Awards Ceremony. Water and refreshments will be available for free to registered participants. Check out the newsreel from our 2023 event: Event Newsreel
All proceeds from this event will be split between the Kansas School for the Deaf Endowment Association (KSDEA) and Museum of Deaf History, Arts & Culture (MDHAC) in support of their missions in fostering shared signing communities.
