Bay to Breakers is a BIG 12K RUN that is held in San Francisco and this year it is the 100th race. A parent got a great idea to use this event as a fundraiser. So we are asking each runner to get a sponsorship of $100 plus $45 to register for the event. Our Music Program was axed last year because of lost funding. The kids and parents really miss not having a music in their curriculum.
Our Parent Teacher Corp (PTA) wants to support the school by helping with the funding for the music program. We have held a holiday bazaar, read-a-thon, and now this event to help raise the money. We got maybe 15 runners/walkers (hoping for more) but hey its fine because its better than NOTHING right!
On a personal note...because of this event I learned how to set up a donation page, also a FBML page on Facebook, and plus signed up to do the race myself. Those are some cool skills to acquire. I will not be running because my body is made for walking the 12K!
If you would like to support me (the kids really) please go here to donate (orange button)- anything helps!
