One in five struggle with literacy!

In a world that expects everyone to read and write, the 1in5K Dyslexia Dash is a community event that gives our dyslexic learners a chance to meet others like them while spreading much-needed awareness and raising funds to help bring Structured Literacy (evidence-based reading instruction) to classrooms across Arizona!

Thank you to those who joined us for the second annual Dash at Freestone Park in Gilbert on September 30, 2023! We hope you had a great time gathering as a community! With your help, the Dash grew to 392 participants, and we raised $11,000! Take a victory lap and enjoy some Dash moments while watching this photo video: https://youtu.be/uhE45EXjoTA

Thank you to our amazing 5k management team, Startline Racing, and the talented Lexi Jo Photography, who took the photos featured in the video!

A special thank you to our sponsors: Pathways School, The Jones-Gordon School, Wilson Language Training, Wellington-Alexander Center, New Way Academy, Affiliated Dermatology, Kids Up Reading Coaches , Joyful Learning Services, Way to Grow Pediatrics, Dyslexia Road, and Chandler Chiropractic for making this event possible. We truly could not do it without your support!
