Gator Gallop 2023: Running in the Rain!

Thank you to everyone who made our 10th Gator Gallop a success: our sponsors, volunteers, pledge-drive supporters, and the parents who spent the entire year organizing the event. We wish the weather had cooperated, but it was great to see so many Greenwood families and community members brave the rain and make memories—all while fundraising for the Greenwood School!

Special thank-yous to our early-morning construction crew and the WMHS Track Team members who ran with the kids!

The Gator Gallop Steering Committee (Ally Houghton, Laura Hubert, Dan Abreu, Krista Kitowicz, Brandon Moulton) thanks all of the volunteers who worked with us to make the event a success — please reach out to any of us with any questions or feedback for next year!
