Boosterthon Provides Schools with Healthy Fundraising

Share On Social!

Boosterthon Fun Run has been promoting healthy fundraising across the United States since 2001. This Atlanta based company has worked with over 1000 schools in 22 states to bring healthy, active fun runs to students as a form of fundraising for schools.

Their services provide a nine day program including three main components; a pep rally, Team Huddle days, and a Fun Run.

These activities give students ways to be active and have fun at the same time, while doing character building and school pride activities.

Fundraising occurs at these events when parents, families, and friends pledge money to students, giving them a set amount for each lap they take around a track set up by Boosterthon on the day of the Fun Run.

A Mom’s Rising Blogger from the Tampa Bay Area, Denise Mestanza-Taylor, was part of a Boosterthon Fun Run at her child’s school. “As a parent volunteer, I had opportunity to witness a Boosterthon fundraiser at my daughters’ school firsthand. Students from kindergarten to middle school were excited to participate and parents and their extended families happily contributed money towards a fundraiser that promotes an overall positive experience on so many levels. Fundraisers like these allow for larger profits while promoting a healthy, active lifestyle.”

“As for my daughters and their friends, they enjoyed the fundraiser immensely. Smiling and laughing with each completed lap, the students seemed blissfully oblivious to the important life lessons taking place through all the active team building and character development activities. But, the parents knew and we were thankful,” says Mestanza-Taylor.
