PTA 5-k Fun Run
Saturday, April 30th, 10:00 a.m.
From Brad Lander:
Register now for the PTA 5-k fun run in Prospect Park.
Last year, over 500 parents, teachers and students from 17 Brooklyn public schools joined us for the race/walk/stroll/toddle on a beautiful Saturday in Prospect Park. It was a huge success and we raised over $6,000 to support Brooklyn’s PTAs.
As we all know, potential budget cuts in Albany threaten not only after-school enrichment activities but also many of the core programs our children rely upon in their schools. This fundraiser is our way, as defenders of public education, to come together and take action in support of our kids’ schools.
You can run as part of a school group to raise money for your own PTA, or you can register as an individual and we will assign you to a school. Go to the NYCRUNS website for registration and more information. To be a team leader for your school, or to get involved with the race as a volunteer, please email Jessica Turner at jturner [at] council.nyc.gov, or call (718) 499-1090.
The fourth annual PTA 5-kilometer fun run will start at Bartel Pritchard Square (Prospect Park West at 15th Street). Participants pay a registration fee of $15 per individual or $25 per family and raise additional money through sponsors. The registration fee is waived for any individual or family who raises at least $50 through sponsors. Prizes will be awarded to the top three fundraisers.
