Strides for Pride is a fitness focused event allowing the school's children the opportunity to walk and
participate in many other physical activities. It is also a fundraising event, with donations, corporate
sponsorships, and a silent auction. This request is to support our silent auction. The funds raised are
used to support the school's needs (i.e. literacy Library, iPads, testing support items, Playground
equipment, etc.). The balance of physical fitness focus and school fundraising creates a wonderful day
for our students, staff, parents, and many local businesses that attend.

Our annual Fitness Fundraiser is to encourage fitness and raise operating budget $ for our 2018-2019
school year. We also have multiple improvement goals: technology in all classrooms, literacy library, etc.
This event avoids the need for the young children to go door-to-door selling items.
