Brookside PTA
1st Annual
Family Fitness Fun-a-thon
&
Spring Barbeque
May 31st, Saturday
At
St. Edwards Park, Kenmore
Please join us for a fun family day at this gem of a park that we are fortunate to have in our own backyard!
Come and support the Fun-a-thon participants, simply enjoy a relaxing, fun day at the park, or better yet, register for the fundraising Fun-a-thon Event.
As a Fun-A-Thon Event participant, every mile you exercise in April & May could raise money for Brookside After School Programs!
For this Fun-A-Thon, we are asking Brookside families to get out and exercise, log their miles, and collect pledges from friends & family. These funds can be used by Brookside PTA to purchase supplies, subsidize fee based programs, pay fees to instructors of the free(to PTA Members) after school classes, possibly provide any necessary transportation. etc.

How to Fun-A-Thon
- Register. Complete the form and mail it to Brookside PTA or return it via your student’s Boomerang by April 16th.
- Set a fundraising goal. Aim High! It’s easier than you think. Plus, you can even work toward great prizes that will be awarded to the Brookside students in the youngest(K-3) and older(4-6) grade levels, who individually or together with their families, raise the most pledges or log the most miles before June 1st. All registered participants will receive a coupon for a free shaved ice treat available at the May 31st picnic.
- Raise money and spread the word. Invite your friends and family to participate and/or support your exercise in April & May with pledges to Brookside PTA. To save time later, collect any flat pledges as you go using the Fun-A-Thon Pledge Form
- Exercise and log your miles. Keep track of the activities, dates, time and/or distance you complete in April & May using the Fun-A-Thon Mileage Log
- Send your pledges and mileage totals to Brookside PTA by June 11th. This gives you just over a week to total your miles and collect any funds from folks who made a per mile pledge.
