This last weekend Paivika participated in the annual AbilityFirst Marathon Campaign to raise money for our programs. AbilityFirst had roughly 1,000 participants and staff participate in the 5k at the Santa Anita Derby Day race at the Santa Anita Racetrack. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful event. The walk takes place through the arborietum and finished inside the racetrack where booths containing information, games, and food were set up. Afterwards, everyone was invited to stay and watch the races if they desired. Camp Paivika was joined by two of our campers, Reo and Laura, and many of our current, and even some former, staffers. 
This year, Kelly and Laura participated in the 5k race with Laura coming in arounf 28 minutes, and Kelly finishing in about 35. Great job Kelly and Laura!
