Boosterthon

Anna's school chose a fundraiser for the spring that I really, really liked. The kids (instead of selling stuff that no one needs) asked for sponsorships to run laps in the Boosterthon Fun Run. Anna really got into it and ended up with some great sponsorship money that goes toward supplies for the classrooms in the kindergarten area. The people that run the fundraiser are with the Boosterthon out of Nashvill and they are super fun and really know how to get the kids motivated. The most number of laps the kids were allowed to count was 35. We were told to expect 20-25 laps for the kindergarten kids. Of course, Anna ran as fast as she could, only stopping for water at the water station once (after lap 19) and ended up running 35 laps. Gary and I walked a victory lap with her. She was worn out but really had a great time. The fundraiser had a theme of teaching the kids character and it really was great. I would highly recommend this type of fundraiser which promotes physical fitness and character over selling tupperware or wrapping paper any day!!
