Run for Funds

I use a really great online service called Crowdrise for fundraising. I've used it before and raised thousands of dollars for a different non-profit in the Verde Valley. In 2016, I ran the Sedona Half Marathon to raise money for Sedona's teachers and students. 

Race complete: $12,237 raised and
we bought plagiarism software for the high school!

We've reached the 66% mark and have almost $12,300 raised. 

• 20 USB drives and a rolling cart for the 4/5 combo class at Big Park School.
• 10 iPod shuffles to the Interact Club at Sedona Red Rock High School. They work with elderly individuals in Sedona with dementia. With the power of music, the students learn from a senior generation.
• $100 in books for Ms. Lynch's class at Big Park School.The best part- by spending money at the Book Fair we turned the $100 into $150 because $.50 from every dollar spent at the Fair is given to the School to be used in the Library! That's a pretty great thing.​
• Mrs. Kirkham needed some mechanical pencils and a new swivel computer chair at Big Park School. She received all of that this week- the first week back after Christmas vacation.

Check out the latest about the efforts to Run for Sedona Funds. The Sedona Red Rock News has provided great coverage and $1,000 in sponsorship money for the school district!

• 120 copies of Dante's Inferno for the Humanities teacher at Sedona Red Rock High School.
• 2 TI-84 calculators for the math department at Sedona Red Rock High School. These were used but new ones will be supplied soon. They are very expensive!
• A $500 donation to West Sedona School for their library. The West Sedona PTA works hard to pay for staffing and this will help offset some of that cost.
• The multi-age teachers at Big Park were surprised on Wednesday January 13 with cleaning supplies, books, paper towels, some Smithsonian learning tools for kids, and a $100 Walmart card for each of the 4 teachers to buy supplies. 
• $500 to the West Sedona PTA to fund the library and keep it open.
• $2,500 in Amazon gift cards to the teachers and staff at Big Park- courtesy of Eye Boutique of Sedona.
