FUND$ RUN 2017
|
The 2017 Candalaria FUND$ RUN is scheduled for Friday, October 6th, come rain or shine. Our theme this year is "Out of this World!"
The FUND$ RUN is the biggest of Candalaria’s two general fundraisers. Students ask neighbors, friends, and relatives to pledge a dollar amount for the number of laps they can run around Candalaria’s track in 20 minutes. Flat rate pledges are also welcome. After the race, students collect the money from their sponsors and return the money to school.. All funds raised go directly to support Candalaria: field trips, in-class special programs, classroom supplies, new technology, author visits, art programs, playground/field improvements, student clubs and more! RAFFLE PRIZES!For every dollar collected, students will earn raffle tickets they can turn in for a chance to win prizes, such as Get Air passes, smoothies at Jamba Juice, movie tickets, Pietro's laser tag, a Kindle Fire and more!
• • • OTHER PRIZE OPPORTUNITIES: Get a prize for turning in pledge sheet! 100% class pledge sheet participation - bonus choice PE day! Get two prizes for turning in pledge money! 100% class pledge money participation - class treat! Top runner(s) in the school - P.E. teacher for a day! Top runners in each grade - Ice Cream Party with our Principal! 
Funds Run proceeds constitute one-half of the PTA’s operating budget each year, and is vital to our ability to provide enriching activities and new equipment to our students. WE ENCOURAGE EVERY FAMILY TO PARTICIPATE! Consider setting a family goal - $50? $100? $500? You can do it! Involve each member of your family in the fundraising effort, whether a current student or not. Ask friends, family, neighbors and co-workers for pledges and donations. Every penny will help your child have a richer, more meaningful experience at Candalaria. |
