The Goal: $1,000 Per Child
Each family should plan to raise or give $1,000 per child for Fun Run 2027. This is our fundraising expectation for each student and helps us continue providing the specialized education and support our students need.
Your Monthly Goal
The easiest way to reach $1,000 is to break it into smaller goals throughout the school year. For example, you could raise or set aside about $112 each month from September through May to reach your goal by May 2027.
Total: $1,000 per child
Ways to Reach Your Goal
There are many ways to raise your $1,000. Start early and find what works best for your family.
- Ask family and friends to support your student.
- Ask your church or small group to participate.
- Host a simple fundraiser or sell something your family enjoys making.
- Ask local businesses to sponsor your student.
- Share your student's fundraising page with your personal network.
- Make a personal gift toward your student's goal.
- Invite people to a monthly Open House tour so they can see what happens at Happy Hands.
