Daisy Dash

Madison-Ridgeland Academy is set to launch the 30th annual Gardens of Madison County fundraiser with a brand-new event: the Daisy Dash sponsored by Exell. Taking place on Thursday, May 1st, this exciting addition to the festivities will bring together students, families, faculty, and alumni for a vibrant evening on MRA’s beautiful campus.

At the heart of the Daisy Dash is a Color Run, open to all members of the MRA community, with a special focus on students from PK3 through 12th grade. Participants can expect a lively, high-energy course around the MRA campus where bursts of color add to the fun. Faculty, staff, and current MRA families are encouraged to join in—whether by running or volunteering.

Bring the Fun—Invite Your Friends!

The more, the merrier! Encourage your friends, classmates, and family members to sign up and run alongside you. A little friendly competition never hurt—who will cross the finish line first?

Beyond the race, the KidZone will provide entertainment for younger attendees, ensuring fun for all ages. Guests can also enjoy a selection of concessions and browse Patriot Store merchandise throughout the evening. The festivities begin with the KidZone opening at 5:00 p.m., followed by the Color Run at 6:00 p.m.
