Brooklyn PTA 5K Run/Walk for Schools
Brooklyn PTA 5K Run/Walk for Schools
The Brooklyn PTA 5K Run/Walk for Schools raises funds in support of local public schools. Last year, more than 300 people participated!
After the event, there will be parent organizations, face painting, music, and other community-building activities.
The registration fee for participants is $15 per person or $25 per family. You can run as part of a school team or sign up as an individual and be assigned to a group.
You can also raise money through sponsorships (prizes will be awarded to the top fundraisers). Profits from the event will be split among the participating schools: 50% of the total will be divided evenly among all participating schools (those who recruited 20 or more participants) and the other 50% will be divided among schools based on the number of students in the school.
If your PTA isn't already involved, they just need to sign on and recruit 20 participants in order to share in the proceeds. You, your school, or your PTA can contact the organizers at either contact@brooklynpta.org or PTArunfortheschools@gmail.com.
The registration forms and additional information are on the Brooklyn PTA website. You can also register on-site on Saturday morning.
If you'd like to coordinate a group from your school or be a volunteer on the day of the race, send an e-mail to Jessica Turner at jturner@council.nyc.gov. Jessica is the Community Liaison for Kensington, Windsor Terrace, and Borough Park for our New York City Councilmember Brad Lander.
Meet at Prospect Park at the Bartel Pritchard Square entrance near Prospect Park West and 15th Street.
Race, walk, stroll, or toddle with your neighbors!
