About:
We have two SSADD organizations. Junior SSADD which is grades 7-8 and senior SSADD which is grades 9-12. Junior SSADD has around 70 club members and senior SSADD has around 110 club members. All of our runs have been organized and facilitated by senior SSADD members, but junior SSADD members participate in them as well. For both clubs 65% are student-athletes. For the 5k their responsibilities were to create sponsorship boards, design the shirt, coordinate parking, set up tables and chairs, bring food and drink out,serve food, and help facilitate registration. They of course also had to run/walk the 5k along with the quarter mile color run. I still need to pay some bills but I think we will be around 6k, which brings us to 14k in 3 years in support of children’s cancer (added this year:sidney food bank and Joshua’s House). On average most students were there around 4 hrs, but 10 or so spent the entire day with me (9hrs). As you can imagine this is not a 1 day set up take down. There was a lot of planning done throughout the year. Our next community initiatives will be writing and delivering letters to our veterans in November. In December we will be dressing as Elves and spreading Holiday cheer to our school ,Colman Center in Sidney, and the Discovery Center in Binghamton. Thank you for reaching out to us and allowing me to share all the awesome things are students are doing in their community.
