We are gearing up for the Fund Run! Every year the Finch PTO hosts an annual Fund Run to raise money for our mission:
The mission of the Finch PTO is to act as a liaison between the community and Finch Elementary School while establishing, promoting and supporting programs and events that enhance students’ education.
How does the fund run work?
Students raise funds by asking family members or friends to donate small amounts to pledge for the mission of the PTO ($5-$50). In return, your student will run for us on June 6 and get as many laps in during their heat.
The top five students who bring in the most donations will win tickets and classes to Ninja Nation. The two top classes to collectively raise the most funds will win a class party.
Who can donate?
Anyone can donate to the Fund Run. However businesses who are interested in donating can receive a tax deduction, and if they donate $250 or more they will earn a spot with their logo on the back of our Fund Run t-shirts!
How can I donate?
Families, friends and businesses can donate using cash, check, or online using a link. Students will be coming home with a donation envelope to keep track of their donations. Businesses can write a check to the Finch PTO or use our online platform. We are using 99pledges to collect online payments for students and Zeffy for Businesses to donate larger amounts online. Please be on the lookout in your child’s red folder!
