Annual Fun Run & Tiny Feet Trot

The GIS Fun Run and Tiny Feet Trot are our annual community fundraisers where students, families, and friends come together to support our school through active participation. A Fun Run is a type of school fundraiser in which participants raise money by collecting donations or pledges for walking, jogging, or running a predetermined distance or course. In German, this is called a Spendenlauf. In Mandarin, this is similar to a “公益挑战赛跑”. Get ready to lace up your sneakers for a day of fitness, fun, and fundraising!

Ways to Get Involved:

Register – Sign up your students on PledgeStar to start fundraising.

Spread the Word – Work with your children to ask family, friends, and coworkers for support.

Make a Pledge – Donate to support your child's efforts.

Double Your Impact – Check if your employer offers donation matching.

Volunteer – Help with setup, track laps, or cheer on students.

Celebrate – Attend the event and cheer for students!
