WHAT IS THE CHARGER FUN RUN? The Charger Fun Run powered by Boosterthon is a 9-day program and fundraiser for ICS! This year the program kicks-off on Tuesday, October 21 and the run is on Wednesday, October 29. Students in PreK2 through 7th grade will participate. Funds from this program have helped renovate bathrooms, upgrade security, buy computers and most recently build the new playground. This year’s goal of $50,000 will go towards a fence upgrade and privacy screens along Charger Field.
HOW CAN PARENTS REGISTER THEIR STUDENT(S)?
Registration is FREE. First, parents log-in or sign-up on MYBOOSTER.COM. Then, parents can register their student as a participant on mybooster.com by searching for our school name. Students get a free prize just by being registered.
HOW CAN STUDENTS GET PLEDGES?
Parents can help connect students to sponsors by sharing their pledge page on social media, through email, or even text. Sponsors can enter and pay for those pledges online on your student’s page!
WILL MY STUDENT REALLY RUN 30 LAPS?
Yes! The Fun Run track is about 1/16th of a mile, ¼ the size of a normal high school track. The average student will run 30-35 laps and will have a goal to run at least 30 laps to help their school. The most any student will be counted for is 35 laps.
CAN STUDENTS RECEIVE A PRIZE FOR FLAT DONATIONS?
Yes! All flat donations count toward pledges and are rounded by 30 (the average student will run over 30 laps). So, a $30 donation is the same as $1 per lap. A $60 donation is the same as $2 per lap, etc.
CAN SPONSORS PAY FOR PLEDGES ONLINE?
Yes! Sponsors will be prompted to pay online for all pledges, even per lap pledges. Sponsors will receive an email after the run with the amount of their payment based on how many laps were run.
CAN PARENTS COME WATCH THE FUN RUN?
Yes! Parents are welcome to come watch their children participate in the Fun Run. It will be held outside on Charger Field. Spectators will check in and access the field from the main office. Please check the schedule for grade level times in the weekly mailing.
