Thank you to everyone who joined us this weekend at the park!

It was a beautiful day and sharing it with our people was a wonderful way to send off Summer!

Racker Day in the Park was a success because of a long list of people who share our vision of a world where all people know they belong. They believe people should lead fulfilling lives with opportunities to learn and be connected with others. And this weekend was certainly filled with connection and fun and everyone was welcome!

Thank you to all our volunteers who helped with activities, ran a table and setup/cleanup the event, our sponsors and business partners, prize sponsors, Sciencenter, Cornell Sports, the Cornell Big Red Mens Hockey and Cornell University Women's Hockey teams, FLAME The Band, Bangs Ambulance, Silo & Luna Food Trucks, Meg-A-Moo’s Ice Cream, Friends of Stewart Park, the Racker Board of Directors, and of course everyone who attended, made a donation, and enjoyed the day in the park with us!

**We hung up the banner in our admin office hallway that everyone colored at the park!**
