Ben Franklin PTA
Ninja Warrior Run Fundraiser 2026
We're kicking off the year with our only fundraising event, the Ninja Warrior Run! It's a fun way for students to raise money for enhanced educational resources and activities at our school.
Event Date: October 7, 2026
Fundraising Goal: $113,000
That's just $155 per student — help your child reach out to neighbors, friends, and family for support. Donations can be made online below, or by cash/check (payable to Ben Franklin PTA) returned in the fundraising envelope your child will receive the week of September 14; please return envelopes by October 7. Don't forget to check with your company about matching — it doubles your impact! Just include a copy of the completed matching paperwork.
For the next few weeks, we'll share tips to make fundraising easy. Then on October 7th, students will celebrate by running an obstacle course during recess!
We can always use extra hands to make it a fun day for everyone — sign up to volunteer here.
Prizes and Raffle
- A pizza party for the class with the most donations
- Any class that reaches 100% donation participation before October 1, 2026 gets to run the obstacle course twice!
