Running with Rosco

What is Running with Rosco?

Running with Rosco is one of SJB’s three annual fundraisers, but it’s also one of our most beloved community-building traditions.

The community building happens on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving when students, staff and families are invited to run, jog, skip or walk around our athletic fields with Rosco the Bulldog and other mascots from around town. See below for event details.

Running with Rosco serves as a fundraiser in two main ways:

  • Student fundraising pages
  • T-Shirt Sponsorships

This year we are raising money for updates to our playground and outdoor space. See below to learn how you can help!

Parents: Create a Fundraising Page for your Student(s)

We use a platform called Booster to make fundraising easy and convenient. The first step is to create a fundraising page for your student(s). If you have multiple students, their pages can be combined in a family page. Be sure to upload a picture to personalize the page.

SET UP FUNDRAISING PAGE

Next, it’s time to solicit donations! The great thing about this fundraiser is that out-of-town friends and family can easily participate. You’ll have a customized link you can send via email, text or social media. Students will earn prizes as they rack up donations, and we have even more in-store for the top students and the top classroom. If we meet our school wide goal of $25,000, the whole school will be rewarded with a PJs and Peppermints day on December 16!

Community Members: Become a T-Shirt Sponsor!

We love our sponsors, and when it comes to Running with Rosco we offer lots of fun perks! Perhaps the best perk of all is placement of your company logo or family name on our coveted annual Running with Rosco t-shirt. These shirts are worn by students on our Wednesday spirit days for years to come, so the exposure goes well beyond event day.

Sponsorship for the 2024 t-shirt is now closed. Thank you to our generous sponsors!
