Knoles Hero Run
September 11th, 2026

Dear Knoles Families,

On Friday, September 11, 2026 —recognized nationally as Patriot Day —we will launch our very first HERO RUN!

This event is a great way for your students to participate in a fun physical fitness activity, while raising money for our school ...

 AND 100% of the proceeds STAY at Knoles!

All students will be participating on the day of the run. We encourage students to wear red, white and blue on run day and collect at least $20.00 in donations for our school.

The top fundraisers can choose from exciting prizes to include:
* A Flagstaff Family Fun gift card package

* Maxshot electric scooter

* Lego Prize

* And More!

Our goal is to raise $10,000 this year! 

Your donations support:

* A school stipend to help fund field trips, classroom supplies and school equipment that public school budgets cannot cover

* Student family events like Reading Under the Stars, Holiday events, and a Spring Dance this year! 

*Teacher and staff appreciation events

*Plus 10% of proceeds will be donated to our local first responders


Can you help us?  HOW TO DONATE:

Each student will receive an envelope with a pledge sheet. Please have your students begin collecting donations now by asking your family members, neighbors, and friends to sponsor your runner by providing a flat donation

Pledge sheets and donations are due by Sept. 14th. Please RETURN pledge sheets and donations in the envelopes provided to your teacher. 

Donations can be in the form of cash or check (payable to Knoles PTO). Or made online the Venmo link below-please include a memo with your student's name.


On Event Day, family members and supporters are encouraged to come out and cheer on their student.
