Greetings Varner Elementary Parents!
We have a great opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our children with our MAIN PTA fundraiser of the semester, the Boosterthon Fun Run!
The goal of the Boosterthon Fun Run is to raise funds while teaching our kids about the importance of Fitness, Leadership, and Character. Our goal is to raise $20,000 for a new sound system and to start a fund for a track, and we need your help! We are very excited to have the Boosterthon Fun Run Team on campus this semester, as they will be adding value in so many ways to our students and our school!
The Boosterthon Fun Run is a nine day program that will kick off Wednesday, November 9, 2011. Please look for the Boosterthon Pledge Map that will come home with your child on this day, and be sure to visit funrun.com to begin entering pledges.
On the last day of the program, ALL students will participate in the Boosterthon Fun Run event which will take place Thursday November 17, 2011.
We need your help! We are asking parents to connect their student to ten (10) potential sponsors who can pledge a dollar amount per lap or give a flat donation towards their student’s Fun Run. Most students will run somewhere between 25-35 laps at the Boosterthon Fun Run (max laps = 35). For example, a $5.00 pledge per lap x 25 laps would equal a $125.00 gift to the school. All checks are made payable to Varner PTA and are due after the Thanksgiving Break. All donations are 100% tax deductible.
We ask you to help Varner Elementary in the following three ways:
- · Connect your child to sponsors—friends & family—who can give a pledge.
- · Come and cheer on your child at the Boosterthon Fun Run on Thursday November 17, 2011!
- · Go to www.boosterthon.com to learn more about the Boosterthon Fun Run. Or connect at www.facebook.com/boosterthon
Thank you again for being such a wonderful group of parents! The investment you make in the lives of our students and our school is noticed and appreciated. Get excited! We look forward to seeing you at the Boosterthon Fun Run!
Sincerely,
Varner PTA
