First day of school...so exciting :)
Ciera's school is participating
in a fundraiser called Boosterthon Fun Run. Instead of the usual
wrapping paper catalogs or chocolate bars, the children will be
participating in a "marathon" run. How cool is that?!
The goal is promote health, fitness and leadership.
Idalia contacted me to help support Ciera. I also thought it would be an awesome opportunity to share it with you guys, as well, and give you all a chance to support her!
We
are asking for pledges to support Ciera for every lap she successfully
completes. Boosterthon states most students run 25-35 laps. The maximum
allowed is 35 laps. This number is an average from K-5th graders...this can be used for
determining your maximum contribution.
You can pledge $1, $2, etc. per lap she completes or
you can make a one time flat rate donation of any dollar amount you
wish. Any contribution you make is tax deductible.
The pledge money is due one week after the event which is scheduled for October 11, 2012. Checks can be made payable to River Dell Elementary.
Boosterthon also has a
perk in the program called "Pass it Forward". Once Ciera reaches $7 per
lap in donations a child in the local children's hospital will receive a
basketball hoop set.
I love that idea!!
Here is some background info about this unique and awesome program for kids
(from their website):
The Boosterthon Fun Run is a 9-day, values-based fundraising program that teaches students about Fitness, Leadership, and Character. This year's Boosterthon character campaign is Highway USA! Students will be "on the road to good choices," learning what it means to make the choices that count. Students will learn to:
- Choose Leadership
- Choose Character
- Choose Learning
- Choose Fitness
- Choose A Good Attitude
If you will like to support Ciera in her run, please go here to pledge!
