At Jog-A-Thon 2024, We're going for gold!

To maximize your donations, consider the following fundraising ideas:

• Ask for digital donations through GiveButter to easily share your fundraiser with friends and family.
• Ask if your company has a corporate matching program. You could get your donation doubled! (Email us if you need a receipt.)
• Request lap pledges from friends and family to be turned in after Jog-A-Thon - even $1 per lap will add up! 
• Get your students to share their "why" - this is the only BME fundraiser where students are asked to raise money. All donations enhance your child's school experience!

All students can participate in Jog-A-Thon by fundraising before the event. There are three ways to collect donations: 

• Digital donations through GiveButter (see below for details)
• Cash or check, turned in to their teacher*
• Lap pledges to be turned in after the student completes the event.* (For example, Grandpa pledges $5 per lap that his favorite student completes. The student completes 10 laps, resulting in a $50 donation to be collected after the event.) 

*Make sure your student's name and their teacher's name are on all donations brought to the school, so they get the credit! All pledged donations are due on Friday. Oct. 4.

*Make sure your student's name and their teacher's name are on all donations brought to the school, so they get the credit! All pledged donations are due on Friday. Oct. 13.
