Kilwins Ice Cream Run
Honorary Chair
Eden Kendall
An Event to Benefit Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech
We’re All In This Together: The Wait Is On For Ice Cream!
The health and safety of all of you who support the Kilwins Ice Cream Run, benefiting Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech, is our primary consideration.
Because this is such an uncertain time, we have made the difficult decision to defer our race with the hope that we can be safely together again. We are already making the plans!
Clarke’s dedication to teaching children who are deaf or hard of hearing to listen and talk goes on! While we are all adjusting to this new reality, we want you to know that Clarke students continue their education through virtual classrooms and receive individual, daily speech sessions with Clarke’s amazing team of teachers and speech-language pathologists. Clarke students cannot afford to be put on hold.
We thank you for your understanding and ask that your registration fees become a donation to support the ongoing mission of Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech. We are also offering the options to roll over your registration to the future Kilwins Ice Cream Run or a full refund. Deadline to receive a refund is Monday, April 20, 2020. To make your selection visit https://kilwinsicecreamrun.itsyourrace.com, select “Contact,” complete the form and note your preference in the “Your Message” section.
