WHERE WILL THE MONEY GO?

The San Ramon Valley Education Foundation works in collaboration with the San Ramon Valley Unified School District to fund priority initiatives within our schools, such as district level grants, STEAM programs, professional learning, and individual teacher grants.

FUNDRAISING?

Every registration automatically generates a fundraising page.

By sharing their personal page with their family and friends, every participant can use their fundraising page to raise money that directly support their school.

All revenue raised via personal fundraising pages will be split as follows:

• 70% will be returned to the school of choice
• 30% will be used by SRVEF to help fund district-wide initiatives that otherwise would not be possible.

All funds raised on fundraising team pledge pages not affiliated with SRVUSD schools will be considered donations to SRVEF. SRVEF funds district-wide initiatives that benefit all students.

RESULTS?

The 5K and 10K will both be timed. After the race, you will be able to print a certificate.
