Does my student(s) have to participate?
This annual school fundraiser is a mandatory fundraiser. Every student must participate and collect a minimum of $300 in pledges which is just 10 pledges of $1/per lap. The most effective method of getting pledges has been to share the Student Star video either via Facebook, email and/or text message. 

How can parents register their student(s)?

How do I create a Student Star video for my student?
All you need to do is log into your account at MyBooster.com. Click "upload picture". Once the picture is uploaded, the Student Star video will automatically be created and sent to you via email. Once you receive the email, share away and watch the pledges pour in! This is seriously the most effective way to get pledges.

What is a pledge and how can students get pledges?
A pledge is simply a promise the sponsor will either pay a certain amount for each lap the student completes during the Fun Run or pay a flat donation towards the student. For example: $1 per lap = $30 to $35. Once your student is registered, students can create and share their own video. Parents can help connect students to sponsors by sharing their video pledge link on Facebook, through email, or even a text. Sponsors can enter and pay for those pledges online through your student’s pledge link!

Can I use my employer’s company match program for the Fun Run?
In most cases, YES! Although All Saints Catholic School is a religious institution, the funds donated are applied to non religious programs and/or services. E.g., academic curriculum for science, math, technology, community service projects, safety programs, etc.

When should I submit my matching gift request?
There’s no better time than right now! Some companies distribute company matching funds right away, while others disburse them once a quarter. Contact Ms. Diaz for assistance, [email protected].

How do students earn prizes?
Students earn prizes by getting pledges. Beginning on Monday March 10, 2025 through Thursday March 20, 2025, we will issue nightly challenges encouraging students to get pledges and win prizes!

How will my student receive their prizes?
Prizes will be distributed at school daily to the students.

Can students receive a prize for flat donations?
Yes! All flat donations count toward pledges and are rounded by 30 (the average student will be active). So, a $30 donation is the same as $1 per lap. A $60 donation is the same as $2 per lap, etc.
