WARRIOR DASH FUNDRAISING EVENT 2018
We have kicked-off our one-time-of-year
Hosp PTA Fundraising Event!
For the next two weeks, the Hosp PTA will be asking families to help in our fundraising efforts as we work to continue to raise money for our school! Your participation directly impacts our students in the following ways:
- An outdoor learning center - Educational programs for students
- The Hosp scholarship fund - Additional books for our library
- Grade-level t-shirts for field trips & events
- PTA Sponsored events (Carnival, Health Fair, Warrior Dash, Multicultural Night, etc.)
- New supplies & technology for extra learning in the classrooms and much, much more!
This year we have teamed up again with The Get Movin’ Crew©, an online fundraising website, to make this event fun and more profitable for Hosp Elementary. If every student registers and is able to raise at least $25.00, we will raise over $17,000 for Hosp Elementary! If every student raises $30.00, that will take us to over $21,000 for our school! As a celebration for your student’s efforts, each child will participate in the Hosp Warrior Dash 2018 on Friday, October 12th!
**Please reference our fundraising packet in yesterday’s Thursday Folder for further details & incentives for our students, teachers & parents!**
We Need All Parents to Complete 3 Fast/Easy Online Steps!
1. Register your Child by visiting Thegetmovincrew.com. It's free, super easy, and takes only a few minutes!
2. Share your child's student fundraising webpage via email to at least 5-10 friends and/or family to help in spreading your fundraising efforts.
3. Post on Facebook or Social Media. Its two clicks of a button to post! The average parent has over 300 FB friends. You'll be surprised when donations come in from distant relatives/friends from High School/co-workers. Post and see what happens! You are able to view your child’s donation efforts on their webpage.
This year, Hosp PTA’s goal is to raise a total of $18,000!
