Fun Run Fundraising Updates!

Thanks to amazing participation across grade levels, students have already raised $22,000 as part of our Fun Run Fundraising campaign – we are well over half-way towards our goal. Thank you to everyone who has participated!

And of course, it’s not too late to get started! We usually see our biggest days of giving during Spirit Week. So if you haven’t done it yet, get your kid registered at https://mybooster.com/v3 and help us get to our overall goal of $35,000.

Kids will also be coming home with a flyer about Spirit Week next week to get everyone hyped in the lead up to Friday’s Fun Run. Get those jazzy outfits planned!

Our Cause

School Goal: $35,000

Our school is hosting a fundraiser! Families will gather donations, while students participate in the fundraiser. Families can support our school by sharing their donation page with extended family and friends using the share button here on mybooster.com. Every share and donation counts!

Our Story

This year is the 12th Anniversary of the Washington Irving Fun Run and we are hoping to make this our best year yet!  The students of Washington Irving Elementary are raising money to support many programs that are not currently funded by District 97 but are necessary to enhance the quality of education for both our students and teachers such as field trips, scholarships, supplies and cultural enrichment. And this year, we have more needs, which means we need your support more than ever!

Furthermore, we want to promote a healthy lifestyle to our students and the community. Please help us reach our fundraising goal of $35,000 by supporting our FUN RUN. We’ve asked our friends at Booster to power our fundraiser to make it more profitable, fun and easy for everyone.
