Raleigh Park 2026 Jog-A-Thon: Friday, April 17th
This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and is a fun way to fund all the programs, field trips, author visits, and everything else for next school year.
Pledges due Monday, April 20, 2026.
Pledge envelopes are available in the front office for those who want them!
What is Jog-A-Thon?
Students walk, run, or jog the track with their grade. They’ll also have the opportunity to cheer on other students! Students will focus on goal setting, doing their best and having fun with healthy, heart-pumping exercise! Students are encouraged to collect donations from friends, family and neighbors. Funds raised will support Raleigh Park’s wonderful programs and activities that our Tigers count on each year.
Adults can join in the fun, too! Volunteer or come cheer students on!
We can use lots of volunteer support to help set up the festivities (balloon arch, bubble machine, ipad stands, snack station, etc). We would like at least 5-6 parent volunteers per grade. There’s also always parents cheering their students on as they run around the track. Look out for your student’s run time in coming communications!
If you sign up to volunteer on BetterImpact, you get a free Jog-A-Thon shirt!
