Candalaria’s student fundraiser which promotes school spirit and exercise while raising one-half of the PTA’s operating budget to fund enriching activities and new equipment to our students. This year we are raising money to put in safety lighting around Candalaria! The 2024/25 Candalaria FUND$ RUN is scheduled for October 17th 9am-noon. 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. Before and 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 $10 collected, students earn one chance in a drawing to win prizes such as Legos, art supplies, stuffed animals, gift cards, and more!
