*ONLINE REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED! We will have in-person registration Friday, April 14 at The Lily Pad (111 N Wheatley Str, Ridgeland, MS 39157) from 10:30 am to 6 pm AND the day of the event, April 15, at the green space infront of Methodist Rehab in Ridgeland (102 S Perkins St, Ridgeland, MS 39157) from 2:30 pm to 5:15 pm.
We hope you will join us to support disability awareness + raise funds for operating costs for The Lily Pad Cafe by participating in the 11th Annual Leap 4 The Lily Pad (formerly Run Up for Downs) on April 15, 2023 at the Methodist Rehabilitation Center Green Space in Ridgeland, MS!
ALL proceeds will go towards operational costs of The Lily Pad Cafe. The Lily Pad will employ & train young adults with intellectual & developmental disabilities to equip these men & women with the tools necessary to obtain employment by local businesses so that they can not only achieve their full potential, but display to the community their abundant talents and abilities. With YOUR help, we have been able to raise over $600,000 for The Lily Pad!
The 11th Annual Leap 4 The Lily Pad will kick off at the green space in front of Methodist Rehab in Ridgeland, MS with a fun run, a 5K run/walk, and a 0.0 race. Enjoy live music featuring Mike Rob and The 601 Band sponsored by First South Farm Credit. Our Pepsi Food Tent is shaping up to one of our best featuring drinks courtesy of Brown Bottling Group + food from Primo's Cafe, Slim Chickens, Angelo's, McB's Bar & Grill, BOP’s Frozen Custard, Wholly Smokes Cooking Company, Super Shakes, Lost Pizza, The Prickly Hippie, Mudbugs, The Froghead Grill, Chillin' on the Rez, Kristos, Holmes Culinary Arts, Chicken Salad Chick, AOK Food & Fitness and The Bean Parlor! There will also be a sensory tent, kid zone + much more!
