The mission of the Dolphin Dash is to reduce or eliminate athletic, marching band and color guard user fees for Dennis-Yarmouth High School Students.

A committee of dedicated volunteers is working diligently to organize the DOLPHIN DASH 5K ROAD RACE to raise money for the purpose of eliminating high school student user fees.

We would also like to use this unique opportunity to showcase and celebrate the Dennis-Yarmouth school community and the great things happening in all of our schools.

We want this to become an annual D-Y DAY & Showcase Celebration.

The Dolphin Dash is part of the Cape Cod Foundation which is a licensed 501c3.
