Why We Hold This Race
Tough Turtle is the single biggest annual benefit for Ithaca Children’s Garden, and provides critical funding for operations. Proceeds go directly to sustaining IGC’s mission of providing the space and support for kids to develop lifelong habits of physical and mental wellness, caring, and environmental stewardship. ICG changes lives, one child at a time, and we don’t do it alone. Tough Turtle brings our our community together for a fun challenge in support of a vital community resource.
