PTA FUN RUN Fundraiser

We’re excited to announce that the Office of Council Member Shahana Hanif and the President’s Council of District 15 are hosting the 16th Annual Fun Run on Saturday, October 26, 2024 at the Lefrak Center in Prospect Park. Bib pickup starts at 9 AM, with the race beginning at 10 AM.

What is the PTA Fun Run?

The Brooklyn PTA Fun Run is a family-friendly event where Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) and community members of all ages come together to run, bike, scoot or walk around Prospect Park loop road (approximately 5K). The aim is to raise funds for Brooklyn schools with Title I status from the last three years (where 60% or more of students qualify for free or reduced lunch).

You can register as an individual or join your affiliated school team! Here’s the registration link: bit.ly/bkfunrun2024

If you or someone you know is unable to attend due to cost, please reach out to Mia Perez at mperez@council.nyc.gov for fee waivers.

Not a Title 1 School? You Can Still Help! Your participation matters! By bringing a large team to the Fun Run, you’ll help increase the funds available for Title I schools in Brooklyn. These flexible funds are vital for services like recess staff, extracurricular programs like gardening and musicals, and teacher grants. Your support shows solidarity with students and families across Brooklyn.

Can’t Participate This Year? No problem! Any donations made through the registration site will directly support our Brooklyn schools. Please share this event with your networks—every sign-up or donation is an investment in our education community!
