Jog - a - Thon
Willow Springs' PTA's Annual Fundraiser
This is a day of fun for the whole family! Students are invited to find sponsors that will donate to their run. Donations are collected as a lump sum and collected online through our fuss-free fundraising site. To reach our fundraising goal, we are asking a $35 donation per child, but any amount really helps.

Parents, siblings, and spectators are invited to spend the day outside with us. After the students finish their run, they remain outside enjoying concessions, playground time, and soaking their teachers in dunk tanks!
