| Fact Sheet |
 | Race for Education is an annual jog-a-thon, which involves students | |
| walking and/or jogging around a designated area for one hour. |
| The success of Race for Education is based on students bringing in | |
| the names of people who are potential sponsors for the jog-a-thon. |
| However, there is no "house-to-house" sign-up of potential sponsors. It | |
| is all done by filling in a label sheet of names. For every 10 names a student brings in, your school should receive at least $75 in contributions. |
| Potential sponsors may be family members, relatives, close friends, | |
| and neighbors. Special emphasis should be placed on out-of-state sponsors. Also, the people you do business with are a great source of names (e.g., barber, dentist, doctor, piano teacher, etc). |
| "Kick-off" information about Race for Education is provided and sent | |
| home with each student seven weeks in advance of the jog-a-thon. |
| There are incentives and prizes to help promote the success of Race | |
| for Education. Unlike most fundraisers, however, the prizes are great motivators at minimal cost (e.g., Snack Cards, Treasure Box Prize Cards, Dress Down Day Cards, Homework Passes, and Class Parties). |
| So, if you are tired of the usual "exchange fundraisers" that require | |
| students to go door-to-door selling magazines, candy bars, wrapping paper, or citrus, then consider Race for Education. It is great fun for the students, no hassle to their parents, and fully benefits your school's educational program! |
