Corbell PTA's Wild Walk: Fundraiser Cultivates Community
Cassano, Michelle
Our Children: The National PTA Magazine, v38 n2 p8-9 Oct-Nov 2012
When Corbell Elementary opened its doors in 2006 in Frisco, Texas, its newly formed PTA faced the challenge of implementing a productive fundraiser to get the school off to a great start. The new board chose to focus its efforts on a single fundraiser, rather than a series of smaller ones. They wanted to avoid having the children selling any kind of product, but still wanted to make the students an integral part of the event. A Corbell mom came to the board with the idea of hosting a fun run whereby the students obtain flat-fee or per-lap pledges from friends and family, then participate in a festive event full of running, walking, and school spirit. This article describes Corbell's Wild Walk fundraiser which promotes healthy competition and healthy lifestyles for a worthy cause.
