Dash of the Runaway Wizards

Dash Logo

The Dash of the Runaway Wizards is Woodlin Elementary’s annual fun run and has been a great success in raising funds while providing a festive and healthy event for our kids. This year’s October 15 dash raised almost $32,000! The fundraising site is open until October 29, 2021.

Students receive pledges from families and community members to support our awesome school, and in the week leading up to the Dash, the PTA will encourage activities that focus on health and exercise. On the day of the event, each grade takes a turn running laps around an outdoor track to music while being cheered on by friends and family. Last year, the event raised more than $25,000 to provide academic support for teachers and fund PTA programs!

Become a corporate sponsor!

There are two ways for parents to contribute to the fundraising goals:

  1. Contribute securely online at https://pledgestar.com/woodlin (see below for instructions).
  2. If you have checks or cash to donate, please contact Allison Nadelhaft at allisonnadelhaft@hotmail.com.

PledgeStar Instructions

Kids running to Dash sign

For our Dash of the Runaway Wizards this year, we’re using an awesome web-based fundraising system that makes it very easy for you to request pledges from your family and friends, and for them to make secure credit card donations online. It’s fun, it’s easy, and people who use it typically raise twice as much as those who don’t! We know that the pandemic has presented many people with fiscal challenges, but we are still hoping that friends of Woodlin will still be able to support our awesome school.

Remember, our Dash of the Runaway Wizards is October 15 so please register now to help our school raise as much as we can for community building, enrichment, and academic support:

  • Go to http://pledgestar.com/woodlin
  • Click “Not Registered For This Year’s Event?”
  • Enter your name and email address, then click “Submit”
  • Follow the instructions on-screen to register students.

When you finish, the system emails pledge requests to your family and friends and allows them to make secure credit card donations online. You get notified each time a pledge is made, and you can track your pledge progress online. Call 1-888-598-7510 if you need help.

Dash of the Runaway Wizards T-Shirt Distribution

The Woodlin PTA is proud to provide every Woodlin student with a Dash of the Runaway Wizards t-shirt to celebrate their participation in this event and showcase school pride! T-shirts will be distributed the morning of the event by their teachers.
