Springbrook 2024-2025 Jog-A-Thon

Wednesday, November 20, 2024

Jog-a-thon is almost here! We are so excited, and we can't wait for all the fun to begin.

What is Jog-A-Thon?

Jog-a-thon is Springbrook PTA's school fundraiser for the 2024-2025 school year. Students, teachers, and staff will jog, walk, or dance laps around a track at school for 15 minutes. Parents are welcome to cheer students on and take part in a day of celebration for our Springbrook Seals!

This year’s theme is “Community is Power”, together as a community we can make a powerful impact on our students' lives. We’re reaching out to ask for your support in helping us provide the best educational experience possible for our students. Your generous donations make a real difference.

How to get donations?

As part of Jog-a-thon, students can ask family, friends, and neighbors to make donations to support their “jogging!” At Springbrook, all monetary donations, in-kind goods, and volunteerism go towards positively impacting the lives and education of our children. We use PLEDGESTAR as our fundraising system that makes it fun and easy to request pledges from family and friends.

We are LIVE on PLEDGESTAR! To get started, scan our Springbrook Jog-A-Thon QR code below or go to https://pledgestar.com/springbrook/. (Please note, if you have participated in past events, you will need to register again for this event.) We also accept checks and cash donations; the donation envelopes will be sent home and can be utilized to submit checks and cash donations.

Matching Donations

We highly encourage parents/family/guardians/friends to check and see if their companies offer a match. The company match is essentially free money to you and can double your donation for your student to earn prizes, and help our school hit our fundraising goal.

To get you started with Matching donations, here are just a few of the many corporations that have an employee-matching program:

Business Sponsorship Opportunity

This year's Jog-A-Thon fundraising goal is $30k. The money fundraised goes towards the Student Activities, Assemblies, Student Events, Teacher Grants, Instructional Supplies, field trip buses, and other needs for our school. Money fundraised goes back to our students at Springbrook.
