7th Annual Skate-Scoot-Walkathon

Each year GSN sponsors a fundraiser to support families and children in China. GSN’s 2022 Walkathon was a success!This is the 7th fundraiser since the founding of Georgia School. All collected funds will be donated to The China Charity Federation, specifically designated to pay for children.

Georgia School is proud to have raised 20,517 RMB through the walkathon event this year!

On Tuesday, June 14th, a morning was quickly warmed up through simple stretches, preparing all the participants for an hour of exercise. Not long after, skateboards and scooters were zooming around the school campus in between runners of all ages! GSN designated a specific track to be followed and volunteer teachers stood at every corner. As upbeat music echoed through GSN, students and teachers gave their best lap after lap, increasing the amount of rubber bands on their wrists and devoting themselves to a greater cause.

GSN’s Head of School, Mr. Cavon Ahangarzadeh, said “For seven years now, GSN has raised funds to be of assistance to children in China and around the world.  We are proud to put our funds into action through the China Charity Federation (CCF).  At GSN we believe that the act of giving and being of service to others increases students’ capacity for compassion, empathy and understanding. The ongoing development of these traits is essential for our Lions, as the future leaders of a better world.”
