From the Organizer
Race to the Finn! is a community fun run that supports the Finnegan Ringdroski Scholarship Fund at Isthmus Montessori Academy in Madison, WI.
Free t-shirts will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Who is Finnegan Ringdroski? He was one of our students. Well, he was going to be one of our students. Just months before he would've started school and after a year of fighting, Finnegan passed away from brain cancer.
We imagined him learning, working, making friends, acting in Elementary plays, participating in the Adolescent debates, and mentoring young children as a High School student at IMAP. We imagined him as a part of our community until he would graduate and move on to college. Just like we have for Finn, we imagine the limitless possibilities for all of our children at IMA. Finn didn't have this opportunity, and we would like to offer our school community to all children and families of the Madison area.
