On Saturday, October 6th, WCA will be participating in the 9^th annual 5K run to benefit the Arc of Greater Williamsburg. The Arc of Greater Williamsburg is a non-profit organization and has proudly served people with developmental disabilities in our community since 1976. Their support services provide educational, health and wellness, life skills, cultural, social, and recreational programs. In addition, they provide much-needed respite time for families and caregivers.

The Arc is near and dear to many members of our school community. Please consider joining in on either the one-mile fun run at 8:00 am or the 5K walk or run following at 9:00 am. The Arc has offered WCA a special student rate of just $20 to participate in the race (kids 10 & under are free!). Adults will still be registered at the $40 rate. We will be registering together, so we are asking all of you to fill out and return the race registration form to WCA, that you may download and/or print by clicking HERE.

We would love to have as many WCA members as possible wearing either the newly designed WCA Athletic shirts, any WCA logo’ed apparel, or merely royal blue colors. Up to 20% of purchases of this shirt will go back to the Athletic Department at WCA to help fund the purchase of necessary sports equipment.  The students are able to wear these shirts during games or for special dress down days that will occur throughout the school year as well!

We will meet as a school the morning of the race at Williamsburg Landing Retirement Center at 7:15 am. If you have any further questions, please email our race coordinator, Athletic Director Pam Gibbons, at gibbonsp@williamsburgchristian.org.

We are sincerely hoping to make this an annual event to support our community and the Arc of Greater Williamsburg. How great would it be to see a sea of royal blue at the race!
