You guys! We are building incredible momentum:

🏃 386 students registered
💛 Almost $36,000 raised
📨 862 requests sent
🔑 135 keychains earned
👕 58 RUN WILD T-shirts earned

This week’s challenge is to earn a Fun Run keychain. Students can qualify in either of two ways:

⭐ Raise $100
OR
⭐ Send 20 requests through PledgeStar

That’s 20 requests—not 20 donations. Sending requests gives family and friends an opportunity to support your student, but there is never an expectation that every person gives. Start with five requests today and keep working toward 20!

*Unrelated, but kind of related side note: I followed up with a video of my Vikings via text, because they're way more interesting than an email.

Already earned your keychain? Your next goal is the limited edition RUN WILD T-shirt, earned by raising $250 by Sunday, September 13. This deadline is important because we want to get each student their swag early to wear the week before the event!

Every donation and every request helps move Valle Verde closer to our $100,000 schoolwide goal.

Register, send requests, or check your student’s progress at valleverde.pledgestar.com.

Let’s Run Wild, Vikings! 💙💛
