CHES 5K & Fun Run

The 5K & Fun Run is our major annual fundraiser, typically held in early May, and is a fun, local, community-building, and family-friendly event. There is high participation, not just from the CHES community, but from our neighboring communities as well. Last year’s CHES 5k was a HUGE success, raising almost $8,000, thanks to the very generous support of sponsors and all the individuals who signed up to run. Funds raised are used to provide the wide variety of activities supported by the PTA to enrich our school community, and are eligible for a tax deduction.

The race will be happening again this school year, and we will be asking for community support to make the race a success and are seeking sponsorships from our valued local businesses, and appreciate any donation you are able to provide. Your generous donation will promote your business to our 350 Cayuga Heights Elementary students from the West Hill and Cayuga Heights neighborhoods as well as their families, teachers, school staff, and neighboring residents who participate in the race. Our CHES community is vibrant, diverse, and always eager to support businesses which help our children.

If you are unable to provide sponsorship but are interested in helping, we would appreciate donations of food and supplies on race day, as well as medals and prizes or gift certificates for winners. Your volunteering will also be welcomed!

We will have more information available as we get closer to race day!
