ABOUT THE FUN RUN

The Fun Run is a fitness-based fundraiser that teaches students all about teamwork and a healthy lifestyle, and it benefits our school in the process!

This annual event is sponsored by the PTA and is run by a team of parent volunteers. That means there’s very little overhead and almost every dollar raised goes directly to the school! Our fundraising software is powered by Boosterthon at FunRun.com, making raising money for our school simpler, more profitable, and more fun.

Students will run in the Fun Run during the school day on Friday, October 4th.

In the two weeks leading up to the Fun Run, students will ask friends and family members for pledges. On Fun Run Day, each student will run about 35 laps. For example, a pledge of $1 per lap, equals a $35 donation.  Students will receive incentive prizes for securing pledges! Log on to FunRun.com for details. 

2024 FUNDRAISING GOAL

The PTA works closely with the ARCAE Leadership Team to fund school enhancements to strengthen our future leaders.  This year our Fundraising Goal is $75,000.00.  

The funds raised will be used to support learning enhancements such as ‘Battle of the Books’ (4th& 5th grade), and Flocabulary (4th grade).  The PTA also hosts monthly Teacher Appreciation Events, fulfills Classroom Wish List requests for Teachers for items such as ink, shelving, and communication tools. Your donations will help us match the ABC Art Grant and help fund residencies through the Engaging Creative Minds Program.  These funds also support our new STEAM initiative, Project Lead the Way.

If we meet our Fundraising Goal our Principals will do the Principals’ Obstacle Course, which is always a lot of fun for everyone! Date and time are forthcoming.

Step 1

REGISTER at Funrun.com! Help your Students SECURE PLEDGES from friends, family and businesses. Some businesses such as Bosch, Delta and Benefitfocus match Fun Run pledges.

Step 2

VOLUNTEER! Volunteers are needed each school day from Tuesday, September 24th through Friday, October 4th to help to assemble and pass out daily prizes earned by Students for the pledges that they secure.  These daily prizes get Students excited and motivated to participate in the Fun Run. 

Volunteers are also needed on the day of the Fun Run, which is on Friday, October 4th to assist with getting the students excited and keeping the Fun Run organized.

As a reminder, all guests will need to check-in at the front office with a picture ID and all volunteers must be approved in advance by CCSD.  You can access the CCSD Volunteer Application by clicking below.
