About the event

The JJ Hill PTO is holding its single fundraiser of the year,

right now culminating  with a run for the kids on November 1, 2024.

The time your student will run will be sent to you by their teacher. 

We encourage you to make signs to cheer your students on!

​

Why do we do the Fun Run?​

This fundraiser is how the PTO is able to provide each teacher,

teaching assistant and specialist with funds to spend

on needed supplies for their classroom.

It is also how we as a community provide school supplies

for each student, buy books for our library,

and fund school events and field trips.

​​

Previously, families would get to show up to encourage

the kids to run as many laps as they could,

sponsored by their community.

The PTO has long worked to have a single big fundraiser

so that the kids aren't asked to sell anything,

and there's only one ask to the community.

​

How do we raise the money?

We collect donations from J.J. Hill

parents and local businesses,

but the biggest source of revenue

is the money our students collect

from their extended families, neighbors and friends.

It's a great way for students to build confidence

and communication skills, and it's also a good excuse

to meet the neighbors and

connect with aunts, uncles and grandparents.
