2016 Mathewson Bulldog Run

Saturday, September 30, 2016

The Mathewson PTA is pleased to announce the 8th Annual Mathewson Bulldog Run. This event is intended to be our major of the year and is a fun and fit activity for our students. During this event, each student will walk or run on a predetermined course at their own pace during a 20-minute time slot for their class. This event will compliment Mathewson’s physical education curriculum, helping children achieve their personal best on the course. Drinks will be provided for each student, plus all participating students will receive a gift.

  • Prizes will also be offered to our top fundraisers in each class, grade and overall, including a Free Birthday Party at the YMCA, Movie Passes and Gift Certificates to many local businesses. The class that raises the most, will get to silly string Principal Currier.
  • All students who raise $75 or more will be entered into a raffle for additional exciting prizes including gift certificates to many local businesses.

Our goal is to help the PTA raise money to fund student activities. We have targeted to raise $16,000 from this event – which is $35per child for our school. We hope that each family will participate in the Bulldog Run to the best of its ability, making the Bulldog Run a successful fundraiser. Get yourchildactive and involved. Encourage him/her to approach family members for support using the attached pledge sheet. Feel free to make additional copies as needed. DO NOT ALLOW children to solicit door-to-door. Thank you very much for your participation!
