The Race for Education is just three weeks away — on Friday, October 28 — and we need every student and teacher from PreK3 to the 8th grade to reach out to family members and friends to ask them to be a Race sponsor. Event Coordinator Christian Delacruz visited different classrooms during the week of October 3 to present green-and-white Race for Ed Sponsor Sneakers to students who had raised $50 or more from a sponsor. The sneakers were also put on display on a bulletin board in the Multi-Purpose Room hallway. There is still room for more sneakers — so let’s keep reaching out to prospective sponsors.
Please find time over this holiday weekend to send some emails or share the ACS Race flyer on Facebook and help us reach and exceed our $40,000 goal. All proceeds will go into the ACS Annual Fund to support our educational programs in this school year.
To date, ACS has received over $8,000 in donations and pledges from sponsors. Thank you to everyone who has already donated or reached out to prospective sponsors. Let’s keep pressing on over the next three weeks and encouraging others to come on board as sponsors.
Giving to the Race for Education is easy — just go to our Race website — www.race4ed.com/ACS
Sponsors can give any amount, but if they donate $50 or more, a special Race sneaker sign with the sponsor’s name and the name of the student they are sponsoring will be posted on a school hallway wall and in students’ classrooms as a sign of support. Donors can also be a “Classroom Sponsor” (for a gift of $200) or an “Event Sponsor” (for a gift of $400).
Individual yard signs with the names/logos of Classroom and Event sponsors will be placed around the edge of the track on Race Day to encourage all of our runners. In addition, the names/logos of our “Event Sponsors” will go on a banner hung at the school for the week prior to and on Race Day.
