Jog-a-thon and Eagle Dash
Jog-a-thon (K-8th grade) and Eagle Dash (9th-12th grade) are annual fundraising events that Redwood Christian Schools uses to enhance the overall experience for our students. These same students are directly involved as they seek out, with parental assistance, sponsors who will support them in their efforts to raise funds for our school. Students invited potential sponsors that included relatives, family friends, professional acquaintances, and others who might know the student well. RCS once again partnered with PledgeStar, an online service that has brought Jog-a-thon and Eagle Dash into the digital age. Although traditional mailed paper jog forms were still available for use, sending out invitations through PledgeStar has become the favorite choice for most of our Jog-a-thon and Eagle Dash participants. The results were outstanding this year as $142,234 was raised in cash and pledges. Funds received from the 2019 Jog-a-thon and Eagle Dash were applied to Vision 2020 as we continue the Phase II construction of the Bruce D. Johnson Gymnasium and renovate classrooms on the elementary campus. Redwood Christian Schools wishes to thank all of our students and parents who worked diligently to make the 2018-19 Jog-a-thon and Eagle Dash a huge success. We also want to thank, on behalf of each of our students, every sponsor who generously supported RCS through Jog-a-thon and the Eagle Dash.
