The Turkey Trot is our school’s biggest and most important fundraiser of the year. Our goal is to raise and invest $40,000 in our Bulldogs. The field trips, assemblies, special programs, and other enrichment opportunities that our Bulldogs will experience this year are only possible because of the money you help raise!
PTA is proud that 100% of proceeds from the Turkey Trot go directly back to Aviation. We run this fundraiser in-house so that our Bulldogs benefit from every dollar you give. Please give generously and let’s count down the days until the big race on November 21st!
ABOUT
During grade-level P.E. time on Thursday, Nov 21st, students will feel the need for speed as they maneuver through challenging obstacles to complete their “Top Run” mission. This year’s Turkey Trot will take our Bulldogs to new altitudes and be the ultimate in aviator fun!
Schedule
4th Grade: 8:30am – 9:45am
3rd Grade: 9:45am – 11:00am
5th Grade: 11:00am-12:00pm
FUNDRAISING
Fundraising for the Turkey Trot is similar to fundraising for a jog-a-thon or other donation-based fundraising event. Bulldogs set a goal to successfully complete all of the obstacles on race day in exchange for fixed-amount donations.
Donate to your student, request donations from family and friends, share your fundraising page on social media, and check with your employer to see if they match donations. There are lots of ways to fundraise!
Check your email for a link to your student’s personal fundraising page, or click the orange button above to search by student name. If you run into any issues, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help!
All donations are tax-deductible and can be made online through the 99 Pledges platform. Fundraising will close at 11:59pm on Sunday, November 24th. Alternatively, cash or checks (made out to Aviation PTA) may be dropped off at the front office.
