READY, SET, RUN...
The Jog-a-thon is a school-wide fundraiser that supports Jessie Beck's PE program and playground equipment while promoting health and fitness for our students. GOAL This year we hope to raise $20,000! This is an increase from previous years, but this will be our only "a-thon". Meaning, no spell-a-thon or jump-a-thon, so please help us meet this year's goal and support PE for our students! HOW TO HELP FUNDRAISE... 1. Use the Jog-a-thon pledge package and find sponsors. Ask parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, neghbors, and friends! Start getting sponsors today, pledges are due September 14th. 2. DO NOT SOLICIT STRANGERS OR GO DOOR TO DOOR. 3. Sponsors can make a flat donation or pledge an amount for every lap. Most kids run 15-25 laps. |
