VCES Laps 4 Learning Jogathon
March 20th-April 10th
How will my Laps 4 Learning donation be used?
Your donation will be used to fund facility updates at VCES so that we can continue to provide a safe and engaging learning environment for our students!
Funds raised will go towards campus beautification, including bungalow restoration, updated AC units, new paint and locks in classrooms, laptops, as well as other much-needed repairs, to ensure that VCES continues to be a beautiful place for our students to learn.
Previous L4L campaigns have funded our 1st-5th grade playground renovation, 8 foot security fences and fence wraps around the perimeter of the campus, new AC units, new backpack rails and hooks, and partially funded the renovated bench by the backstop (the class of 2024 also funded this bench, and we are so appreciative of their generosity!).
How can my student raise money this spring for Laps 4 Learning?
Your student has a unique fundraising URL and a donation envelope that they took home on March 20th. They can collect online donations, or cash/check donations in their envelope. ** Encourage them to ask friends, family and neighbors** to make smaller donations ($10, $15, $20) to help them reach the $250 goal. If donors are making an online donation, after they click “Give Now”, ask them to search for your student by name to make sure that their donation is matched with your student. If they would like to donate cash/check, your student can collect this donation in their donation envelope. Click here for more information on the school website.
How do I make an online donation to my student?
Click the “Give Now” button, type your student’s name, and select their name from the drop-down.
Do I have to donate with a credit card?
No! Students can use their donation collection envelope for cash and check donations. Click here for more information on the school website.
What is the student fundraising goal?
The student fundraising goal is $250.
If every student raises $250 or more, we will exceed our fundraising goal this spring!
What are the school fundraising goals this spring?
Our school goals are to raise $75,000 with 100% student participation in fundraising during the Laps 4 Learning fundraising campaign.
How can friends, family and neighbors donate online to my student?
Share your student’s fundraising link! Search for their name after clicking the “Give Now” button at the top of the page. Copy and paste your student’s unique fundraising link into an email and send it to donors, or share it on your social media profiles. All students were sent home with a QR code for their fundraising link with their donation envelope on March 20th. Need a new QR code to share? Visit the school office!
Can I volunteer on race day?
