This is the 2023 Dyslexia Dash t-shirt. When you see a name on the back of the Dyslexia Dash t-shirt, you know that person is someone who supports IDA-GA’s mission. Remember: All proceeds from our annual Dyslexia Dash goes towards the IDA-GA Teacher Training Scholarships and Outreach initiatives.
Will your name be on the back of the 2023 t-shirt? If you donate or raise $100 or more, your name will appear on the back of the shirt. If you see 10 names, that means 10 individual people raised at least $1,000; 50 names means $5,000; 100 names means $10,000, …. How many names will we see this year?
