Frequently Asked Questions

1.  What is the Fun Run?

The Fun Run is a 9-day program and is this semester’s biggest fundraiser, taking place on October 5th. Families will be getting pledges for the laps their student runs at the Fun Run. Funds raised from this event go towards equipping our teaching staff, new nursing department, and athletic department with the tools that they need for excellence!

2    How can parents register their student(s)?

First, parents log in or sign up on funrun.com. Then, parents can register their student as a participant on funrun.com using the school registration code. Students get a free prize just by being registered.

3    How can students get pledges?

Parents can help connect students to 10 different sponsors. Families can enter those pledges online at funrun.com

4    Will my student really run 30 laps? How big is the track?

Yes, even kindergarteners! The Fun Run track is about 1/16th of a mile, 1/4 the size of a normal high school track. The average student will run 30-35 laps and will have a goal to run at least 30 laps to help their school. The most any student will be counted for is 35 laps.

5   Can students receive a prize for flat donations?

Yes! All flat donations count toward pledges and are rounded by 30 (the average student will run 30 laps). So, a $30 donation is the same as $1 per lap. A $60 donation is the same as $2 per lap, etc.

6   What if families don’t have Internet?

If a student’s family does not have Internet access, parents and families can use the pledgebook to record all pledges. If students turn their pledgebook into their teacher, please make sure student and class name are listed on the front.

7    Can sponsors pay for pledges online?

YES! Sponsors have the option to pay online. Only pledges that have an email address entered with the pledge can be paid online. Make sure sponsors know they should enter a valid email address. The day after the Fun Run event, sponsors will receive an email with payment options.

8   When is the pledge money due?

Pledge money is due by October 12th. Families have one week to collect their pledges after the Fun Run.

9  How is money collected?

Families will call their sponsors to let them know how many laps their student ran. All students will get an envelope to organize cash and checks and bring back to school (if sponsors don’t pay online). All checks are made out to Arkansas Christian Academy PTO.
