Jog-A-Thon

Summerville Elementary Jog-A-Thon

Get ready to lace up your sneakers and hit the field! We’re thrilled to announce the return of our annual Jog-A-Thon, a beloved tradition that brings together our school community for fun, fitness, and fundraising!

Date: Tuesday, May 13, 2025

Location: Summerville Elementary Steve Artzer Field

Who Will Participate: All Summerville Elementary students

Our Fundraising Goal this Year: $10,000

Why the Jog-A-Thon Matters

The Jog-A-Thon is more than just a fun day outdoors—it’s one of our biggest fundraisers of the year! This year we are looking to raise $10,000 to purchase a brand new sound system for our school gym. This new sound system will directly benefit all students (parents and staff) in many aspects of their daily school experience including P.E., sporting events, concerts/musical plays, and other school events, like movie night & Jog-A-Thon! 

How It Works

All students will be participating in our 2025 Summerville Elementary Jog-A-Thon during their designated time at school. This will be a fun-filled day of music, school spirit, and a cheering squad of teachers and parents. Students will jog, walk, or run as many laps as they can during their scheduled class time.

Pledge: Gather pledges from family, friends, and neighbors by sponsoring a flat amount. You can find the pledge tracking form here.

Sponsor: Own a business and want to sponsor our Jog-A-Thon? Your sponsorship not only benefits our student's school experience but will provide great visibility for your business. Be sure to check out our sponsorship levels here. or pick up in the school office
