Event Description

The 5K for Dyslexia is a family friendly 5K run/walk benefitting a local non-profit that will help children with dyslexia in our community. 100% of all proceeds will be given to teachers and tutors in our Fishers community that would like to be trained in Orton Gillingam approach, to help children with dyslexia and other struggling readers.   Orton Gillingham is an evidence based, best in class, reading approach that helps all readers.  However, it normally costs anywhere between $600.00-$5,000/person to achieve this certification.  Our goal is to provide full funding for teachers and tutors in our community to support struggling readers.

We are proposing that our inaugural run/walk will take place October 7th in downtown Fishers.  Runners, walkers, strollers and participants of all ages are welcome.    The race will start at 8AM and the course will close no later than 9:30AM.  
Driving for Dyslexia is the HOST organization.
