Washburn Games   

2010 Washburn Games
Sunday, October 3rd
1:00pm - 4:30pm
One mile fun-run at 3:45pm, followed by the prize drawings
Bryn Mawr Meadows (map & directions)

The Washburn Games is a unique and fun recreational opportunity. It's an annual event that brings together resources from throughout the Twin Cities, including adults, kids, and the corporate community.

It gives kids ages five through twelve the opportunity to explore a wide variety of athletic activities in a non-competitive, non-threatening environment. It also gives everyone involved a chance to support at-risk children by supporting the work of the Washburn Center for Children:www.washburn.org.

Participants who reach the $100 fundraising goal will be entered in a drawing for a $1,000 educational grant and other fun prizes. Registration is limited to the first 500 children to sign up.

The Washburn Games involve more than 15 supervised activities, including:
- Soccer
- Baseball
- Cricket
- Basketball
- Football

There's no keeping score, there's only having fun. And the only way to not have fun, is to not participate.
