The Palmetto Running Company's Daufuskie Island Marathon and Half

Donations will be collected this year for Daufuskie Island Independent School (DIIS) Through Rough Runners R4R INC. 

"At Daufuskie Island Independent School, we believe every child, in every community, deserves access to a rich, rigorous, and well-rounded education. By partnering with communities, we instill a love of learning, foster a culture of creativity, create an atmosphere of belonging, and encourage all learners to recognize and reach their potential. But Daufuskie Island Independent School is more than just a middle school. It is also a pilot school focused on refining a model of high quality, affordable education in rural areas. Where high quality public options are not available, charter schools are a great solution for more densely populated areas, but many rural communities do not have large enough populations to support a charter model, hence the pertinence of what we refer to as “The Daufuskie Model.”

Fundraising is crucial to DIIS sustainability. I believe that we can come together and do something really great for the school.
