Join the Race to Support Children with Disabilities
The word “Lekotek” comes from the Swedish word “lek,” which means play and the Greek suffix “tek,” which means library. Lekotek of Georgia is a nonprofit organization that provides children with disabilities with adapted toys and computer equipment that allow them to have fun playing and to learn in the process.

On Saturday, August 27, the 19th Annual Lekotek Race 4 Kids will take place at the Georgia Perimeter College, Dunwoody Campus. The 4 mile Run/Racewalk starts at 8 a.m. and the 1 mile Fun Run starts at 9 a.m. There will also be a finish line party including awards for race winners, refreshments/brunch, and activities for the whole family such as cartoon characters and fire engines.
Join the race to support children with disabilities; you don’t have to be an athlete to join, just a person who is interested in making a difference.
