CCE PTO is excited to host our 5th Annual FUNd-Run - Cardinal Candy Land on Friday, October 26! We are raising funds this year to provide STEAM programs for our school. Funds raised will be used to purchase science lab, related arts, and classroom technology, along with special in-house programs.

All donations go directly back to CCE and will benefit your child THIS year. In addition to our STEAM programs and technology, each classroom will directly receive 10% of all class funds raised. Just like last year, the PTO is tackling this project on our own! Other than outsourcing the online donations engine (a small portion of our budget), the PTO is running this event by ourselves which means all donations go immediately back to our school. No high overhead. No large percentage payments to outside companies. 

How Do I Sign Up?

Register your child on http://www.funrun.com and they will receive a free candy scented wristband just for signing up! Collection Envelopes for in-person donations will go home in Tuesday Folders on October 16.

Through http://www.funrun.com, it's easy to solicit and make donations. You can even share a video starring your child with family and friends!

What are the prizes this year?

This year's incentive prizes are geared toward our fun Cardinal Candy Land theme. We start our journey through Candy Land at Cupcake Commons and move all the through to Candy Castle. Just for registering, your student will receive a candy scented wristband and any donation made will receive a cupcake pop pen. Move through the realms of Cardinal Candy Land in $25 donation increments. For each land passed, a new themed prize will be awarded. 
New this year: Raffle tickets with each $25 donation. Students will have the opportunity to enter their raffle ticket for the basket(s) they want the most! 

Important Note: All candy given to students during Cardinal Candy Land is nut-free and allergy friendly.
