By committing to this event, and pledging to raise money for its success, you are helping raise additional funds to support student scholarships.

Let’s make this happen and thank you for your support!

 

4. How can my sponsors submit payment?

Online contributions can be made by credit card on the walker’s or runner’s personalized page found on this website. 

 

5. As a participant, how can I encourage family, friends and others to become a supporter and make a donation to help reach my goal?

Even if you've never raised money before, our materials and strategies will make it easy for you to solicit and collect sponsorships from friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, and others. Experience has shown that it is not only possible, but enjoyable, to set and reach your goals. Please refer to the sample letters found on your personal fundraising page center, that explains the programs the run supports, and you will be surprised to see how quickly friends, family, and co-workers will respond to your request to help this wonderful cause. Just remember to make it personal as well, as you want them to know that they are sponsoring YOU and YOUR efforts! And, as many companies offer charitable donation matching programs, make sure to ask your sponsors to check with their employers, as it will help you meet your goal ever more quickly.

Yes! The run/walkathon is designed for fun and fitness for the whole family. Participants enjoy additional benefits that include a free tee-shirt and other great giveaways; top student fundraisers receive prizes, like gift cards , top fundraising grade receives an ice cream treat, and the grade with 100% participation(every student in the class has registered and collected at least one donation) receives an extra special prize.
