Annual Fun Run
Friday, September 25, 2026
The annual Fun Run provides the bulk of Cedar Mill PTC funding. It is the sole fundraiser put on by the PTC and provides the majority of the funding needed to cover all of the programs the PTC provides including: school and community events, purchase school supplies, provide teachers with classroom funds, sponsor field trips, augment curriculum, and more!
See Ways to Give below for information about how you can contribute.
Get ready—our Annual Fun Run is almost here! This beloved event is the cornerstone of Cedar Mill PTC fundraising, providing essential support for our school. Thanks to your generosity, the PTC funds school supplies, field trips, community events, teacher resources, program grants, and so much more.
Watch for a flyer coming home in your student’s backpack soon. Families are encouraged to come cheer, and we will need volunteers to support our runners! Volunteer opportunities for the Fun Run will be available in next week’s PTC Update, scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 11am.
Corporate Sponsorships! We offer corporate sponsorship opportunities to help us reach our fundraising goals. Details are attached—if you or someone you know owns or manages a business that might be interested, please have them contact waysandmeans@cedarmillptc.org.
How It Works
All students, Kindergarten through Fifth grade, earn money for our school by collecting donations from friends and family via an easy online service for their participation in the school-wide Fun Run.
The run is organized by grade and lasts for 20 minutes. Students can choose to run, jog or walk. Most kids complete 10-15 laps. Family and friends are welcome to attend to cheer on their runners. We also appreciate the support of volunteers to help check-in spectators, track laps, and distribute a post-run treat.
2026 Schedule: When will my child run?
9:30-10:15am — Grades 4 &5
10:30-11:15am — Grades 2 & 3
1:30-2:15pm — Grades K & 1
The actual running portion is 20 minutes. Students can run, jog, or walk, and most students complete 10-15 laps!
