36 | Summer 2017 10th Annual Bengal Dash The 10th Annual Bengal Dash was held April 22, 2017 during Greensboro Day School’s Alumni Weekend. The money raised benefits Greensboro Day School’s Philanthropy Council. Students from all divisions are able to write grants for funds that they will give back to the community in many different ways. The Philanthropy Council, consisting of students, teachers and parents review the grants and award the money raised each year by the Bengal Dash. There were 252 registered participants across the three events - an under 6 year old Kids’ Dash half around the track, 1 Mile Fun Run and 5k USATF certified course. Every child 12 and under received a participation medal after running. The overall male and female winners of the 1 Mile Fun Run and the 5k won special prizes from our sponsors. We also gave each top male and female in each age group a prize. This year was the 5th year that the Bengal Dash was a featured race in the Greensboro Race series. This year, we raised over $9,000 that will go directly back to GDS for service learning projects.
