Dear Friends,
On May 1, 2010, Rusch Parent Club hosted its first-ever “Run for Rusch” with the goal of creating a fun, family-oriented community event that would also serve as a fundraiser for our Parent Club and school.
Parent Club is the name for Rusch’s PTO. Rusch Parent Club is comprised mainly of parents and other interested friends of Rusch Elementary students. Through its volunteers, Parent Club works to enhance student experiences at Rusch by providing fun, family-centered events and raising money to support these events and purchase equipment for the school. Parent Club also sponsors scholarships for two former Rusch students each year upon graduation from Portage High School.
Each year, Rusch Parent Club sponsors the Fall Festival, two Book Fairs, a Mini Course day, a Sock Hop, Muffins for Moms and Donuts for Dads, and the End of the Year Carnival. To raise money to sponsor these activities, Parent Club holds one annual fundraiser and collects Box Tops throughout the year.
Like every other organization, Rusch Parent Club has been struggling lately with the economic downturn. Profits from our annual fundraiser have been down significantly in the last two years, while the cost of providing our activities continues to rise as we see more and more of our students’ families in need of financial assistance. How could we continue to raise funds so that we could provide low-cost, family-centered events? From this question, Run for Rusch was born.
Interested in sponsoring a race scholarship for a Rusch student or sponsoring the event in another way?
