Spring 2021 Shirt Pricing

Posted on April 15, 2021 Written by Kellie Kalberer

Colored shirts with white or black ink
$4.60/shirt

Cotton is a commodity.  The cost of t-shirts reflects the current market cost of cotton throughout the distribution chain, tariffs and transportation. Manufacturing plants switching to mask-making and distribution chain issues caused by COVID-19 has had an effect on shirt availability and pricing.  Our goal is always to keep school costs as low as possible.

Mental Fitness Videos

Posted on May 13, 2020 Written by Kellie Kalberer

Fun Run 101 has partnered with The Rooted Family to create short mental fitness videos that can be shared at kickoff assemblies, before the run, and with families.  They are designed to help students mentally and mindfully prepare to run their best race and manage any added stress or anxiety they may have about their personal performance.

The Rooted Family offers many programs for schools that are focused on social-emotional learning, wellness and mindfulness and FR101 schools receive a 10% discount on all their programs.  Learn more about The Rooted Family School Offerings

In response to COVID-19, they are offering a 30% discount to all schools who sign up for The Rooted School: Employee Wellness Program by August 31, 2020, even if they don’t plan in implementing the program until next school year. Email them to learn more about details, pricing and getting started.

FR101 Program Fee Reduction

Posted on April 14, 2020 Written by Kellie Kalberer

Beginning in Fall 2020, the FR101 Program fee is being reduced from 15% to 14%.  Schools will realize a savings of 6.67% (1/15) on that fee from prior years.  This fee reduction is made possible by the addition of donor tipping functionality.  Similar to other crowdfunding sites, donors now have the option to add a tip of any amount to support the fundraising platform.  While most donors don’t tip, those that do are making it possible for us to reduce the cost of our program.  We’re excited to leave more money with our schools!

Covid-19

Posted on March 16, 2020 Written by Kellie Kalberer

Covid-19 has created a lot of uncertainty in education right know, and at Fun Run 101 we understand that everything is currently in flux. Our hope is that schools will be back in session late April/early May and runs can go on as planned and be a great event as everyone comes back together after this unusual experience.  But if not, a few options are:
– Move to a later date in Spring 2020
– Move to fall 2020
– Hold a virtual run (logistics in the works now)
We are committed to finding the right solution for each school to successfully complete their fundraiser.  Please keep in contact and we’ll find the path that is right for each school.
