From the organizers

The Parkland Dash is Parkland’s annual race featuring 5K, 5 Mile, and 1 Mile Fun Run options. Each year, the Dash supports local public schools along with an annually selected beneficiary.

This year, proceeds from the Parkland Dash will benefit Tomorrow’s Rainbow.

Since 2005, Tomorrow’s Rainbow has provided no-cost bereavement support groups and trauma-focused equine-assisted psychotherapy for children, teens, and families experiencing grief, loss, and trauma. Their mini ranch creates a safe and nurturing environment where children can find comfort, connection, hope, and healing through therapeutic programs and horse interactions.

Tomorrow’s Rainbow’s mission is to create a community where grieving and traumatized children feel supported, understood, and empowered to build healthy coping skills and resilience.
