Thank you so much to all of our volunteers for making this amazing and fun event possible. Next time you see Age Group Manager Maria, give her a big thank you high five for Coordinating such an awesome activity!

We are so excited to have taken out top prize this year. It truly has been a joint effort over the last three years and we couldn't have done it without the help of our members, volunteers and all of the Nippers who pitched in and lent a hand 👌 👌 👌
