FLORIS FUN RUN FAQs
What is this for?
Floris Elementary Superhero Fun Run is a two-week, school-wide fundraiser which gives our students the opportunity to have fun, be active, and take the lead in fundraising money for their school. At the conclusion of the two-week fundraising period, the students will have the FUN RUN! 100% of all donations will directly support the PTA’s Annual Budget and the school’s Library Furniture Upgrade.
When is the run?
The run will be Friday, September 27, 2024.
All fundraising efforts begin Friday 9/13 and will end the night before the running event, 9/26 at midnight.
How can I register my child and donate?
Please create a fundraising profile for your child with this link: https://app.givebacks.gives/florisfunrun
Once created, please share the link with friends and family!
Are you using a fundraising company?
No. We are hosting our own fundraiser so all donations and money raised goes right back to the school.
Do the kids win anything?
Yes! There will be wristband prizes based on the amount of money each child raises and effort they put into participating. Prizes will be handed out on Tuesdays and Thursdays over the course of the fundraising period. RAINBOW wristband - For attending the Kick-off Pep Rally BLUE wristband – For registering PURPLE wristband– For raising $25 GREEN wristband– For raising $75 YELLOW wristband – For raising $150 SILVER wristband– For raising $250 or more In addition to wristbands, the top individual earner in every classroom will earn a VIP Pizza Party! The grade level that raises the most money will get extra recess! All classes who have 100% FUN earn popsicles at the conclusion of the Fun Run! If the whole school raises $30,000, then all students will vote on a costume that Mr. DeSmyter and Mr. Gibbs will have to wear for the Harvest Parade.
