Did you know that SACS has THE most successful school marathon in the metro area?
Please help us reach our school goal of $125,000!
Students ask family, friends, and neighbors for pledges for which they will complete a 5K run, bike, or walk. SACS has partnered with OneCause giving platform to provide families with an opportunity to collect pledges online. Families should still record ALL pledges, whether online or currency based, on each child's pledge sheet. If a pledge was received online, the student should check the column on the pledge sheet indicating such.
Please share the pledging link with your family, friends, and neighbors!
Donors can pledge students by:
- utilizing the online giving platform. OneCause - SACS Marathon2022
- Scroll to select the student's grade/homeroom teacher
- Select the student from the list (first name, last name)
- Click "Donate"
- recording them on the students' pledge sheets and students' return pledge forms on turn-in days to their teacher.
- dropping a clearly marked envelope into the SJA collection baskets with the student's name and donation inside.
Helpful tidbits:- If pledging multiple students, please go to each student's homeroom and select a name from the list.
- ONLY recorded pledges on the pledge sheet will be counted towards pledge turn-in day incentives.
EMPLOYEE MATCHING GRANTS: Check with your employer's finance department!
Any matching grant contributions can be added to a student's pledge total.
Questions? Contact Corinna Benz at 952-445-3387 ext. 101 or email [email protected]
Students receive weekly incentives on pledge turn-in days to earn prizes for themselves or their classrooms such as non-uniform passes, dance parties, $400 club T-shirts, a limo ride to Culver's, a field trip to MN Twins games, and more!
If the school hits its school goal, the students and staff earn the ability to wear their marathon T-shirts every Friday through the end of the school year!
