Lace up your running shoes for the annual LP Fun Run!

Wednesday, October 4

LP Lower Playground

The annual Fun Run is the pinnacle of fundraising for Los Perales' PTA! Find your students' donation page on LP's 99Pledges website and get started! Sign up to volunteer!

This exciting event not only promises a day filled with fitness and fun, but also plays a vital role in supporting our school's events and programs. As the largest PTA fundraiser of the year, the Fun Run is the driving force behind many of the incredible initiatives we are able to offer. Without the success of this event, numerous school programs and events would simply not be possible. In fact, the Fun Run generates approximately 60% of the LP PTA's annual net funds, making it an essential contributor to the success of our school community. For the 2023-24 school year, our fundraising goal is $30,000!

How to participate

Friends and family can sponsor their runners per lap or with a flat donation. Please go to LP's 99Pledges site or check your inboxes for an email from our online fundraising platform to customize your student’s unique, shareable fundraising page. We will also accept check or cash donations, which can be recorded on a Fun Run Pledge Sheet found in the LP office. All Pledge Sheets (checks/cash included) must be returned to the LP office no later than October 20. Please contact the Fun Run Committee if you have any questions.

fun run Incentives

We know how to make running fun! Students have the chance to earn exciting prizes and rewards based on their fundraising efforts. It's a fantastic way to teach our kids about setting goals and working hard to achieve them.

The first 50 students to receive a donation of any amount via 99 Pledges will receive a PAWsome ticket*.
Any student who takes an extra step to fundraise through 99 Pledges (e.g. increase their individual fundraising goal, add a photo, personalize their message, share their fundraising page) will receive a PAWsome ticket*.
Any student who meets or exceeds their personal lap goal will receive a PAWsome ticket*. (Volunteers will record each student’s lap goal prior to the start of the race.)
The class in each grade with the most average laps per student will receive an extra recess.
And finally, if our community achieves our $30,000 fundraising goal, Ms. Richards will once again sit under the splash booth! (This is a student favorite!)

*PAWsome tickets will be distributed to classrooms by the end of October.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE FUN RUN

The PTA will provide students with a free official 2023 Fun Run T-shirt, along with a personalized RFID-enabled bib to count their laps.
Students are encouraged to wear running shoes.
Water will not be provided. Please bring two prefilled and labeled water bottles to the event.
After the run, the PTA will provide fresh fruit to all students to enjoy before returning to class.

Spectators

Families are welcome on campus to help volunteer and/or cheer on their students! Please plan to enter from the lower entrance (off Camino Ricardo) and walk up towards the lower playground.
