FUN RUN INFORMATION

Grant Ragan PTO is excited to host our Annual Fun Run

on Friday, October 6th!!

​

Here are a few important details about this event:

1. ALL money will go back to our school!
2. This is our only major fundraiser for the 2023-2024 school year!
3. At various times students will run/walk for 1 mile and conclude with a dance party!

The goal of the Grant Ragan Elementary Fun Run is to:
● Raise money for our school – The PTO set a goal for each student to raise $50. We
are encouraging students to identify 5 (or more) individuals to donate $10 each.
● Encourage student participation – Students can collect donations from family, close
friends, and even local businesses. Everyone will receive a T-shirt! Individual prizes will
be earned at $25, $50, and $100. Grand Prizes will be a drawing where each student
who donates is entered to win!
● Promote wellness – Our Fun Run will promote being active while having fun with
friends.
