15th Annual PTA Fun Run 10/28

Did you know the PTA Fun Run was started by a BNS parent 15 years ago! Come join us.

From Mia Perez in Councilmember Shahana Hanif’s office:

I am reaching out to share that the Councilmember is hosting the 15th Annual PTA Fun Run this year on Sat., October 28th at 10am in Prospect Park (race bib pickup and pre-race fun starts at 9am). The PTA Fun Run is a 3.3 mile run/walk/scoot around the Prospect Park loop in Brooklyn, and is an energizing community-building event with live music, prizes, opportunities to connect with other schools and PTAs, and fundraise for our schools! 

The funds raised from participation fees and donations go to participating Title I schools (including schools that had Title I status in the past 3 years). Title I schools are allocated funds based off of participation, so the more folks you sign up for your school team, the more funds will go to your school.

We will also be allocating a basket of prizes for the participating elementary, middle and high school with the most participation (regardless of their Title I status). Prizes include a Tacombi burrito party, Mayor’s Office and City Agency water bottles, totes, coloring books, Museum tickets and more!

We want to ensure the Fun Run is accessible to those who may not be able to cover registration fees, so please encourage families in need to reach out to me at mperez@council.nyc.gov for free or reduced price tickets or reach out if you are distributing discounted tickets to your school community.

If your school is interested in registering a team and participating, please confirm with me by email if you have not already. I am sharing the Fun Run registration page here and flyers/graphics for promotion here. Please hit reply to this email if you’d like to set up a Brooklyn New School team.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. I hope to see you there!
