Hello Gold Camp Elementary Families!
Today we had our Run4Funds Fundraiser assembly kick-off and the run is scheduled for Friday, September 20th. This is our largest fundraiser of the year and we need your help to make it successful!
We are asking each student to set a fundraising goal of $150 in order to reach our $53,000 school fundraising goal.
What is the Run4Funds?
The Run4Funds is an all-school fun-run and fundraiser. On run day, students will run as many laps as possible in 30 minutes around a 1/16th mile track. Students will run with only their grade level, and most students will complete about 25-30 laps. This is a really fun day for the kids - we'll have a DJ playing fun music and parents are invited to cheer on their kids. Prior to the run, students will request donations from family and friends, as either a dollar amount per lap or a flat donation. Students compete on an individual and class level to earn rewards based on how many laps they run and how much money they raise.
