Rainbow Run 5K for $5k
PS56 is a special place. At our heart is a strong commitment to creating an environment where families feel empowered to participate in the growth of a second home for our students. Cultivating our school takes time, work, energy, and $$$$. While raising the funds that the DOE has decimated this year seems insurmountable at times, it is possible with teamwork.
We are aiming to raise $5000 for running/walking/skipping 5000 laps as a community.
We encourage students to ask for 5 $5 donations (more are always welcome!) for their pledge to complete our Rainbow 5k for $5k challenge!
What do you have to do now?
Help your kids ask for as many $5 donations as possible. To be clear, donations are NOT required for participation in the Rainbow Run, and participation is NOT required to collect donations.
How to collect donations:
1. https://secure.givelively.org/donate/ps56-pta/ps56-5k-for-5k
2. Donors who text the code "5K56" to 44-321 will see this campaign page.
3. Collect cash/checks in the envelopes provided and return to school by Friday November 18
