El Segundo Unified School District fundraiser 2012

March 22nd, 2012

Please help Study Hut support the El Segundo Unified School District by checking out the following race/fundraiser. This year, quite a few of us are participating. Thanks in advance for your support!

20th Annual “PTA Run For Education 5k”

Please join us March 31, 2012 for this year’s exciting race. Bring your friends! Form a team! Show your community spirit!

Location: El Segundo High School, 640 Main St., just south of Oak Avenue on the east side of Main Street, leaving the southbound lanes open to vehicles.
5K Run/Walk (8:00 AM) Kids’ Fun Run approximately (9:15 AM)

WHY: The event is the PTA’s major fundraiser each year, providing extra funding for El Segundo’s public schools. The Run also serves as a centerpiece for the School District’s new Wellness policy while providing an excellent opportunity to promote multi-generational health and fitness throughout our community.

HOW CAN YOU HELP? HERE ARE 3 WAYS:

#1 Participate! Parents and kids can run, walk, or jog this hilly course through the streets of El Segundo. All registered runners for either race will receive race T-shirts and Fun Run participants will receive a toy generously donated by Mattel. 5th grade and under 5K finishers will receive a medal. There will also be trophies for the 5K male and female overall winners as well as 1st, 2nd and 3rd place medals for 16 age and gender categories.

#2 Volunteer! We need adults (over 18 years old) to monitor every intersection along the race route to ensure the safety of our race participants and assist drivers with alternate routes from 7:30am to 9:30am. Please support our community by agreeing to stand at your street corner (if you live on or near the race route) during the race. You can cheer on the runners and socialize with your neighbors while providing this important service. We need over 100 adult volunteers to make this commitment or we cannot operate the race.

#3 Sponsor! This year our goal is to raise $30,000 for special projects and resource equipment tools for all schools in El Segundo. Your donations continue to help El Segundo Schools maintain their top state ranking for test scores and Distinguished School status. There are many levels of benefits for your tax deductible donations, so you can promote your business while supporting this important community event. Please see the Sponsor levels on the Run for Education Sponsor Opportunity page.
