Whittier Fun Run
This year’s Whittier Fun Run is just over a week away! This year’s event will take place on October 6 from 8:00-2:30 with a rain date on the 13th. We need your help to make sure this event can happen this year. Sign up for a volunteer slot here. Please note that all volunteers and spectators must provide proof of their COVID-19 vaccination showing their name to Whittier staff member, Keren Richardson at [email protected]. She will transmit them to Nurse Winkelhake for review. Please send as soon as you can but no later than noon on October 5.
If you can’t make it out there, we still need your help in raising funds. As of 9/23, we’re only 66% to our goal of raising $15,000. This year matters now more than ever since we are not able to do many of our traditional fundraising events. Please consider making a generous tax-deductible donation to the Whittier PTO, which is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, that exists to support the students, teachers, and parents at our school through funding things like One-Book-One-School and providing the teachers with necessary supplies.
If you haven’t already, you can register now on our fundraising platform at www.getmovinfundhub.com It's free, easy, and fast to register! For School Identifier use 5d2f47547adff
