The Washburn Games:
Giving Kids a Chance - to Give Back
Parents, here's a chance for your child to give back to the community and help kids their own age.
The Washburn Games will let kids pass, swing, kick and run their way through an afternoon of fun - all for a good cause.
The Washburn Game offers 15 sports activities for children (ages 5 - 12) to enjoy. To participate, children are asked to raise $100 for Washburn Center for Children. Children who meet the $100 fundraising goal will be entered in a drawing to win a $1,000 higher educational grant and other fun prizes. Children who are unable to meet the fundraising goal are asked to pay a $10 registration fee (in addition to any funds raised).
Join us from 1 - 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 3 at Bryn Mawr Meadows in Minneapolis. Learn more – and register your children - at www.washburngames.org
