Jogathon is coming Friday, March 22!
@ Top of the World Elementary Field
We can’t wait for each student to put their best foot forward for our largest fundraiser of the year! The Jogathon not only gives our community a chance to raise funds to further enhance the exceptional education offered at TOW, but is also a platform for our children to build both a strong mind and body.
Sponsor a Student!
It’s easy to donate at our TOW Jogathon site, hosted by Scholastic Challenge. See how we are progressing to our goal of raising $70,000 for TOW!
Sponsor the Jogathon
We need the support of sponsors, including local business owners and TOW families, to make this year’s Jogathon a huge success! This is an opportunity for your business and/or family to support education in a unique and fun atmosphere.
Sponsorship deadline is Feb, 16, 2018.
getting started
On the Scholastic Challene site, each classroom is set up as a “team” with a fundraising goal (these are different for each grade level, depending on number of students). The money we raise goes toward the many PTA supported programs at TOW, including:
-
- Classroom supplies for all students
-
- Grade-level field trips and speakers
-
- Art Masters
- Garden & outdoor classroom
-
- Reading programs
step 1: create your fundraising page
Here’s how you create your student’s own Personal Fundraising Page:
- Go to the TOW Jogathon site: tinyurl.com/towjogathon
- Click the green “Participate” button in the top banner
- Click the red “Create an Account” button
- Complete the Registration form and click the “Sign up now” button
- Complete the Personal Fundraising Page form
- Your fundraising goal is up to you—it can be as big or small as you’d like!
- Click “Samples” to see sample Personal Fundraising messages and customize one
- Choose your student’s team (teacher) name from the list
- If you want to add another fundraising page for another participant (if you have more than one child at TOW), click “Add Another PFP”
- If you are only creating one page, click “Save PFP”
Your student’s page is now a part of the site and you will be sent an email with a URL that you can easily share out through email and social media. Or send out the easy link of: https://tinyurl.com/towjogathon2018 and people can look up your student.
