Sean Perry hopes to make the local community, in addition to the world, a better place…by running a race with his daughter. As a father, he believes in education and, as a community-minded business owner (The Hands of Sean Perry Company), he believes in sponsoring events like the Isaac Dickson Hot Chocolate 10K. You can still sign up by the way–they have a great 10K and a Kids Hill Climb.
Sean’s daughter Talula attends Isaac Dickson Elementary School. She is immersed in “content [that] is connected to the community and to larger issues in the community and the world.” Sean leads by example, as a community-minded business owner, he is the lead sponsor of the event each year. Through this sponsorship Sean hopes to not only support the school, but to invest financially in the upcoming young citizens of our community and the world.
“My wife and I chose Isaac Dixon Elementary School for our oldest daughter because of their strong commitment to service-learning projects, for teaching children the value of community and for showing them how to be citizens of the world” says Sean Perry.
An avid cyclist and mountain biker, Sean also believes in health with a healthy dose of competition. On January 21st hundreds of people will come together to race in the annual fundraiser to benefit the nonprofit Isaac Dickson, The Hot Chocolate 10k and Kids Hill Climb. Sean and Talula will participate in the Kids Hill Climb, a kid-friendly event and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate
The race funds raised will be used to: enable all children to participate in field trips, help to pay for bus drivers for field trips, support cultural arts and artists-in-residence program, provide classroom support funds for teachers, support teacher appreciation events, provide food, clothing, school supplies, and other emergency support to families of the school, and improve school facilities, including special projects like the flower beds, school sign and the Seth Olson K-2 playground.
