Join us Sunday May 19, 2024 for the Cape Challenge. The event historically draws 400+ runners to the race series. This event is a collaborative effort of our schools' parent associations: PCPA, MSPA, and HSPA. Proceeds from this fundraiser provide critical support to students and teachers of all three of Cape's schools. In the past, funds have supported teacher & technology grants, STEM programs, Pond Cove’s Visiting Artists program, the Middle School Outdoor Experience (Chewonki, Boston Freedom Trail), and Project Graduation.
