WHAT IS THE BOOSTER FUN RUN?
Booster is back this year with the always exciting in-person Fun Run. Students will run around a track for a set amount of time. They will be getting exercise while raising money for their schools.
Booster Fun Run is the largest fundraiser the KPKG PTA does each year to raise funds to support our students and schools. By collecting pledges from family and friends across the world, you are supporting all the Kings Park/Kings Glen community.
Our school goal is to raise $40,000 for field trips, outdoor benches and picnic tables, color copiers, and classroom furniture at both schools, as well as for other school and PTA projects.
Students can win prizes for collecting pledges. Prizes will be delivered daily to their classrooms.
All students will participate in the Fun Run event on September 20, regardless of financial participation.
WE NEED YOUR HELP THROUGHOUT THE PROGRAM
The Booster program is a huge undertaking, and help is needed throughout (as well as on Fun Run day). Please consider donating a few hours of your time to make this a success. Sign up here!

KICK-OFF DAY – SEPTEMBER 11
We are excited to kick off the event on Wednesday, September 11th. Students will view the Booster Kick-Off video and hear directly from our Booster teammates.

NIGHTLY CHALLENGES

Can we secure a pledge from all 50 states?
PLEDGING & SHARING
Pledging is super simple using myBooster.com. Donors can choose to pledge a flat-rate (ex. $35) or a per-lap amount ($1/lap). This year, in order to prevent close contact and keep the flow of the event going during the Fun Run, each student will automatically be assessed 34 laps.
What does this mean? If a donor chooses to pledge $1/lap, the total donation will equal $34.
MyBooster.com allows you to quickly and easily share your student’s pledge page. Sharing is Caring. Every share and donation counts!

CORPORATE MATCHING
In cooperation with Double the Donation, Booster is making Corporate Matching Donations easy for everyone. After entering a pledge, simply search to see if an employer will match your pledged donation. Follow the additional information to have your donation matched. The matched gift goes directly to the PTA to help support our students and schools.
