Check out our Fun Run website at r4funds.com/schools/gvadouglas20 /! It has lots of information and tools to help you and your student make the most of our fundraiser and stay socially distant. Some quick highlights include:
- Simple online giving for friends, family and other donors! Due to Covid restrictions (cash handling and no volunteers in the school) we are asking for all donations to be made online. Given this request, if students still have to send a check or cash, it must be turned in to your teacher by 10/7. Please make checks out to PIC-GVA-DC.
- Students or parents can send out emails to potential donors directly through the website! Personalize the pre-loaded email message on the “Family Resources” tab to let everyone know how to sponsor your student! No need to go door to door asking for donations.
- Parents can check students’ donations easily on the “Check my student donations” tab
- You will use the password douglas and then follow directions on the following page to see posted donations for your student(s)
- If donations are not showing up, it is most likely because the student name entered on the donation does not match the student name on the school roster. Run4Fund$ staff will go through each donation to make sure they match up to a student as they run reports – no donations are lost or uncounted.
- Goal tracking thermometers in real time for school and classrooms! These thermometers are for YOU to see how close your class is to their goal and class prize! They are updated in real time as donations come in and are matched to your students so you can check your total at any time.
