We’d like to bring our communities together when we all need it the most. While we had to reschedule our original Mudfest date of May 2nd because of the pandemic, we'd like to still honor that date by hosting our virtual “Chalk the Walk” event to share some smiles, joy and hope.
We’re asking you to get outside and create a positive message, whether it’s in your driveway with sidewalk chalk or paint, on a dirty vehicle, or by some other creative means (while maintaining social distancing, of course!) Then, post a pic of your message on your Facebook, Instagram or Twitter page (or all three, if you have them!). ***Make sure you tag Daniel Barden Mudfest in your post so we can see it, like it and share it!
When you donate $25 or more, you’ll receive a special-edition t-shirt, which will help keep our summer Daniel Barden Adventure Scholarship in place, allowing for children from both central New York and Connecticut to enjoy a summer adventure and bonding experience. While you don’t need to donate during Chalk the Walk to participate, your help is greatly appreciated: http://store.cnyracing.com/bepositive
Let's fill our communities with positive messages!
