The West Seattle Monster Dash has always been a fundraising fun run for local co-op preschools. This year, with their funding future still unsettled – as we’ve been reporting – your support and participation matters more than ever. Here’s the official announcement:
The 15th annual Monster Dash is Saturday, October 24, at Lincoln Park, with the 5K at 9:30 a.m. and the Kids Monster Dash at 10:30 a.m. There will also be costumes, a Kids Zone, DJ, food and warm drinks, photos, and the usual crowd of current co-op families, alumni, and neighbors.
What makes Monster Dash especially significant this year is that it’s our biggest annual fundraiser, and it’s happening as the South Seattle College Cooperative Preschool community continues navigating the financial uncertainty created by the state funding-model changes.
In other words, the event itself is still the fun West Seattle Halloween tradition it has been for 15 years, but the fundraising carries considerably more weight this year.
