9:30 AM- 1:30 PM
Carondelet's Lower Campus/Lake Harriet
GOAL: $70,000
Collect pledges, then run, walk, bike or blade around Lake Harriet with
your family and meet back at the Lower Campus
for great food, games and fun!
Marathon starts and ends at the Lower Campus. This year's Marathon will start at the lower campus where students will check-in. Families, faculty and friends will then make the Marathon trek around Lake Harriet, then meet back at the lower campus for fun games and activities and a ballpark-style lunch!
Keep tuition affordable - the Marathon is one of two fundraisers our school holds specifically to help keep tuition affordable (the other is the magazine drive in January).
Your Fair Share - your pledge counts toward your “fair share*” commitment
Prizes – Tie-Dyes are back! students who collect $100 in pledges will get a tie-dye tee-shirt. Plus, there will be fun class prizes for the students who receive the most pledges.
Don’t wait - pledge totals are due in September BEFORE the Marathon but actual money doesn’t need to be turned in until AFTER the Marathon. You can also donate online here>>
Tax benefit – donations are 100% tax deductible
The reason I’m calling… Grandparents, parents, friends and neighbors are your students best “prospects” when seeking pledges. And don’t forget matching gift money from your employer.
Saying thanks – in appreciation for pledges from parishioners of CTK and STA, middle schoolers will rake leaves for those in need.
We look forward to seeing you at this fun and important school event! Please let us know if you have any questions.
