The Great Turkey Chase 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run

🏃‍♂️ About the Event

The Horace Mann PTA is hosting its 5th annual Great Turkey Chase 5K & Fun Run, and we are so excited! This is one of the few opportunities we have during the school year where we can come together as a community - families, teachers, and neighbors - to celebrate our amazing school and faculty, as well as have a great time!

💰 Purpose of the Race

• Fundraising Goal: Over 75% of the PTA’s fundraising dollars go towards the salaries of many of our partner teachers and specialists – funds that are not provided by DCPS.
• Support Initiatives: The PTA also supports a myriad of initiatives, including educational programs like gardening and language, professional development opportunities, classroom enrichment, facility enhancements, and more!
• Impact: Each registered runner and donor makes a huge difference as we strive to further enhance our school.

🏆 Friendly Competition

And what's a race without a little competition? Our students are getting in on the fundraiser action by seeking donations from friends and extended family for ultimate bragging rights and a chance to win a Pajama Day and Pizza Party.

• Donations: During registration sign-up, runners will have an option to add a donation for the grade competition!
• Credit: Be sure to mention the name and grade of the students you’re donating on behalf of so they get credit.
