Thanks for making May Day Hey Day 2022 a success!
Our family-friendly fundraiser is back this year! Gather all your friends and neighbors for a walk/run/ride/stroll along the Lawrence Loop, followed by an after-party at Van Go! This affordable event raises needed funds for Van Go’s “Go Healthy” initiative. This year’s event took place on Saturday, April 30.
Packet Pickup
- Your May Day Hey Day passport, which contains a map highlighting all our suggested starting points for your journey as well as a fun passport stamp collecting activity to do along the way
- A friendship bracelet made by the Van Go crew to wear as your “ticket” into the after party
- Other toys, treats, and trinkets to make your day extra fun!
May Day Hey Day Passport & Map
Need to reference the map from your May Day Hey Day passport on the go? Here it is!
Not sure where to start?
Unsure where to start? Here’s 3 suggested locations to start moving on Saturday the 30th if you’d like to hit the after party right around 10 AM.
Choose if you’d like to travel (approximately) 1, 3, or 5 miles. If you’re the average adult, you can walk a mile in about 25 minutes, so that’s the number we used for our calculations. (Obviously make adjustments if your group includes children, if you’re planning to ride/roll/run, if you want to have extra time to stop and smell the roses along the way, if you are the power walking champion of Eastern Kansas, etc.)
After Party
Wherever you start your journey, make sure you end up in the Van Go parking lot between 10am and Noon.
The party will be hopping with live music by Flash Floods, healthy snacks, succulent planting station, exclusive access to brand new Van Go artwork, and more.
Check out the music of Flash Floods before the event on their website or on Spotify!
Teams
Building a May Day Hey Day team is a great way to support Van Go! Grab 10 friends, coworkers, or family members and pick a team name.
Once you’ve purchased your tickets, slide on over to our Online Team Roster and let us know who’s on your team. Team leaders can fill out the roster for their whole team, or have each team member sign up individually. Don’t forget to email us@van-go.org and tell us your team name!
Then start brainstorming how you’re going to win the team fundraising challenge!
Download the Team Toolkit for a checklist, fundraising tips, and suggested starting points to help plan your team’s route!
