Friday, September 29
The Annual Pierce Fun Run will take place the morning of Friday, September 29th. Fun Run is an annual fundraiser that our students participate in to raise money for a local non-profit along with school programs. Each grade level will take turns running around Pierce and then cheering on their fellow Panthers. Parents are all welcome to come and cheer on their students – specific run times by grade level will be announced as we get closer.
Fundraising for Fun Run opens TODAY. Share the link below with friends and family – our goal is to raise $10,000! A portion of the funds raised will be donated to Variety, the Children’s Charity – our nonprofit partner for the last few years. The remaining money will be used to support the Pierce PE department and other PTA programs. Visit https://app.memberhub.gives/piercefunrun23 to set your student up to receive donations today.
It’s not too late to be a sponsor – sponsorships are available through 9/21. If you know a business that would be interested, there are different levels of support.
Thanks to our current Platinum, Gold & In-Kind sponsors: Jonathan DeWindt / Coldwell Banker (Platinum), JanPro (Platinum), KIG Insurance (Gold), Bold Flow Yoga (Gold), Goldfish Swim (In-Kind), & Market Fresh (In-Kind). Please contact Kim Prodan (Kim.prodan@hotmail.com / 773-551-6076) if you would like more information on sponsorship.
