Don't want to run yourself but still want to help? Sponsor a Compass for Kids student! For $30 you can sponsor a student in District 186's Compass for Kids Program to run in the race. Afterwards you will receive a personalized thank you letter from your student! Compass for Kids is a free program for Springfield District 186 students underserved by our community. Students in grades K – 5 are referred by their schools for the program, which focuses on closing the academic and opportunity gap through academic support and enrichment activities. Visit www.compassforkids.org for additional information. APL participates in Club Compass, the after-school program and Camp Compass, the summer program. With the help of APL shelter ambassador dogs, volunteers present lessons bridging social-emotional learning with humane education. Students learn about animal care and explore feelings from a shelter pet’s point of view. Sponsorships for students will provide: - Event T-shirt - Button/badge with a picture of the shelter dog they’re walking to support - Race swag bag including humane education materials - Participation medal
