Old Town Academy Jog-A-Thon

​Fundraising Tips


Fundraising for the Jog-A-Thon can be intimidating, but here are some tips to make it easy and fun!

-Start by emailing all of your family members and friends that don't attend OTA!

-Follow up with a call or a text message to your family members and friends to let them know to check their emails and tell them why we need their support. 

-Create a fun video of yourself talking about OTA and everything you love about it and post it to your parent's social media accounts. 

-Make flyers with a link to your page and put them in your neighbor's mailboxes. Make sure to add a description of why OTA is AMAZING and don't forget to wear your mask.

-Take videos of yourself walking or running and share those via social media or text to get people excited about your progress. 

-Ask your parents to send the information to their managers to see if their company would be willing to support your fundraising efforts. Make sure to include a personal message from yourself explaining all the reasons OTA is THE BEST SCHOOL EVER and why we deserve their support.

-Be creative! Wear funny costumes or sing a silly song when you do your walk or run and post those to social media or send via text and email to get people laughing and excited to support you.
