Subject: Will you support my school’s Color Fun Run?
Hi [Name],
I’m participating in the CSPES Color Fun Run on Friday, October 2! I’ll get to walk, run, or dance around my school while having fun with my classmates.
The Color Fun Run is our PTO’s main fundraiser. Donations are not based on how many laps I complete—every donation helps the PTO provide fun events, programs, and other great things for our school.
Would you consider supporting me and CSPES with a donation? The PTO is a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit and donations are tax deductible!
Donate here: <insert your student’s personalized fundraising link>
Thank you!

Students will walk, run, or dance around the school at their own pace while celebrating with their classmates. Laps are not counted, and this is not a per-lap fundraiser. Donations support the CSPES PTO and help fund the programs, events, and special activities it provides throughout the school year.
