About the event
What is a Boosterthon? The Boosterthon fundraiser is a multi-day event from November 6 - 16th, culminating in a fun run on the 16th, that aims to bring fitness and character to our school while we raise money. This year we’re transforming our fun run into an indoor Glow Run that we hope will deliver an extra cool experience that students will talk about for the rest of the year! Parents are invited to add to the fun and come cheer on their student(s) in the gym. When we have created a schedule of grades running in the gym, we encourage you to invite the parents of your students to participate in the event.
Why do we need a fundraiser? Our Eagle View PTA strives to support our teachers and provide every student in our school with the best educational opportunities we can. While we have a lot of things to fund (as shown in our attached budget), this year we are especially focused on new overhead projectors and extra educational programs such as STEM Week and Literacy Week.
Our 23-24 Goal. This year our goal is to raise $38,000, or about $60 per student.
How can I help? Log onto mybooster.com, sign up or log in, search for Eagle View Glow Run, and register your student(s). Registering will create a fundraising page exclusive to your student(s). Contribute if you can, then send that link to friends, family, businesses or anyone you think would like to contribute to our goal.
Prizes. Students will receive prizes from Booster for registering and hitting fundraising milestones. For extra fun, we’ve collaborated with the EVES teachers to provide the following incentives:
