General Information Packet

To: All SFB Families and Walk-a-thon Participants Event: 5th Annual Walk-a-thon “Shamrock Shuffle” Date: Saturday, November 15th, 2014 Time: 10:30AM to 2:00PM Place: Ruth Asawa San Francisco High School of the Arts (SOTA)

555 Portola Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94131 Our Goal The walk-a-thon is SFB’s first mandatory fundraiser of this school year. The goal of this fundraiser is to bring everyone together for a fun family and community event to raise necessary funds to strengthen SFB’s physical education and other student programs. All of SFB will directly benefit from the proceeds of this fundraiser. As a mandatory fundraiser, we are targeting for 100% participation to meet our goal. We ask that every “fully participating” family raise at least $100 in pledges (funds from people supporting the walker). Families that are unable to attend have the option to “participate” in the walk-a-thon by paying a $150 buyout fee per family.

Walk-a-thon and Sports Spaghetti Social Our School and Sports Program are working to put together one fun family day that you can spend supporting two great causes – the Annual Walk-a-thon (10:30AM to 2:00PM) for physical education and other student programs and the Sports Spaghetti Social (1:00PM to 6:00PM) for raising additional funds for gym fees and uniforms. All participating walkers will be provided a light snack and water upon completing the walk-a-thon.

** Please note that no food or drink is allowed on the SOTA track. SFB will be heavily fined and restricted from future use of the track if we violate their policies. We appreciate your help in abiding by

SOTA’s requirement. Thank you in advance! ** After the walk-a-thon, head over to the SFB’s Parish Hall to enjoy an Italian feast at the Sports Spaghetti Social. Enjoy your spaghetti dinner at the social or get it “to go”. Earn a free dress pass for participating in both the walk-a-thon and pre-ordering a spaghetti meal by Tuesday, November 11th ($10 pre-order deal)! Free dress date to be determined at a later time.

Student Permission Slip Included in this packet is a student permission slip that all participating students must complete before they can participate in the walk-a-thon. All SFB students and staff will be given a complimentary event t-shirt. Please complete and return one permission slip for each student by Tuesday, November 4th.

Registration Form

We welcome everyone and anyone, including parents, other relatives, friends, coworkers, etc., to participate in the walk-a-thon. All SFB students and staff may participate for free. We request a $10 entry fee for all other participating individuals (non-students and non-staff). There is a separate form included in this packet for general walkers, who may order an event t-shirt for just $7. Please complete and return the general walker registration form to the school office by Tuesday, November 4th. SFB parents are invited to walk with their children for free but are welcome to make donations.

1) Free dress 2) No homework pass 3) Class lunch party

Dear ________________________________,

St. Finn Barr School is having its 5th Annual Walk-a-thon, “Shamrock Shuffle”, on Saturday, November 15th at the Ruth Asawa San Francisco High School of the Arts (SOTA) track. This is one of St. Finn Barr’s important mandatory fundraisers used to develop and strengthen needed programs. Proceeds from previous walk-a-thons enabled St. Finn Barr to expand and update its tech program and to strengthen the music and choir programs. This year our goal is to raise at least $15,000 to further develop physical education and other student programs.

I am helping my school reach this goal by participating in the walk-a-thon. I plan to walk at least _______ number of laps around the track and hope to raise $_______. I hope that you can support me in this important fundraising event by sponsoring me in the walk-a-thon. You are welcome to pledge in any amount per lap or a total flat amount. Your donation is 100% tax deductible. St. Finn Barr’s Tax ID number is 94-1156789.

I appreciate your support and your consideration.

Sincerely,

Student Name ________________________________
