PREP Rocks - BRING TO DASH High Priority

↑ Back to Top

At least 3 more volunteers needed.

Details

Your job would be to collect some rocks, wash off the dirt, paint them a base color (spray paint is fast), and write a dyslexia-related hashtag (#dyslexiayouarenotalone, #dyslexiaawareness, #dyslexiarocks, #dyslexia, etc) on the rocks with a permanent marker or fine-tip paint pen. If you don't have time to do the #, that's okay! We just need your clean, base-painted rocky finds! :) Email info@idaga.org to let us know how many painted rocks you likely will be able to bring to the Rock Painting table in the Kids' Zone on the Day of the Dash.

On Dash Day, go to the Perimeter Mall parking lot between Von Maur and Norstroms. GO TO VOLUNTEER CHECK-IN TABLE. Drop off rocks at Rock Painting area.
