Run-a-Thon

The Annual Crow Island Run-a-thon is one of the PTO’s largest fundraising events of the year and is a school tradition dating back to 1985! This outdoor event engages the Crow Island community in a common goal around developing a healthy and active lifestyle while supporting the PTO and a local charity.

During the Run-a-thon, kids are encouraged to run or walk 30 laps around an assigned track. In the weeks leading up to the event, kids request and track donations from family and friends to support their participation in Run-a-thon. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Misericordia Special Olympics Track & Field Team.

There are many ways for parents to participate: make a donation, volunteer to help during the event, and/or attend the event to take pictures, cheer on the runners, and be part of the fun! Parent volunteers are crucial to the success of Run-a-thon!

Date: Friday, October 7, 2022

The 2022 Run-a-thon grade-specific schedule will be posted once available.

2022/2023 Committee Members: Kim Fiedler (chair), Lindsay Abert, Lauren Lewis and Ashley Sutphen

Run-a-thon Donations

The PTO welcomes and appreciates donations of any amount. All will be put to good use at the school! For those who would like a guideline, we suggest each donor contribute $3 per lap that the child plans to run.

Children in grades K-4 are encouraged to run or walk 30 laps.

If your child collects from multiple donors, we ask that you submit a single lump sum donation on behalf of your child(ren). Please click on the PayPal link below.
