Gator Gallop 2024 Wrap Up

Thank you to everyone who made our 11th Gator Gallop a success: our sponsors, our committee who spent the entire year organizing the event, volunteers, and pledge-drive supporters. It was cold but we finished before the rain and it wasgreat to see so many Greenwood families and community members to 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, Leah Hancock, Dan Abreu, Krista Kitowicz, Brandon Moulton, and Esther Jennings) 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!
