🎯 School Fundraising Goal: $30,000

This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and the money raised directly supports Briarwood students, programs and activities throughout the school year. And this year, we have some extra-fun incentives to get everyone excited!

🐺 NEW THIS YEAR: GREAT WOLF LODGE!

Boosterthon is partnering with Great Wolf Lodge, and Briarwood has a pretty amazing challenge ahead of us:

If we reach our $30,000 school fundraising goal, EVERY registered Fun Run student will receive ONE complimentary day pass to the Great Wolf Lodge water park! 🌊🐺

That means every student can help us work toward unlocking this reward for our school!

And the fun starts right away...

Register your student + receive at least ONE donation, and they’ll earn their very own pair of WOLF EARS! 🐺

Registration opened Monday, September 28! Families can create their student’s fundraising page and begin sharing it with friends and family.

Students will earn points that can be redeemed for prizes online, giving them the chance to choose rewards they’re excited about as they participate.

Then on Friday, October 9, students will celebrate all of their hard work at the Briarwood Bubble Fun Run!

Our goal is to raise $30,000 together, and every registration, donation and share helps get us closer.

Get ready, Briarwood — bubbles, wolf ears, prizes and a whole lot of school spirit are coming! 🫧🐺❤️💙
