Festivus 5K
For the third year, Dribbble sponsored the Festivus 5K for Autism, a Festivus-themed holiday race through historic Salem. Rich ran the race while Dan reviewed all grievances and chose the top 10. The race raises funds for the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism. Above, L-R: Rich pre-race; the official sticker, designed by Dan; Dan reading Grievances, joined by race organizers Cindy and Rick Johnson and their daughter Annabelle. This year’s winning Grievance? Bathroom selfies.
