2026 Jogathon & Holi Celebration
Friday March 13th | Big Yard
Over the last two years, our Gecko Nation has raised over $115,000 each year! Our goal this year is to raise at least $100,000, but it would be amazing to reach last year’s number!
If we raise $75,000, we get to slime Principal Fuhrer!
If we raised $85,000, we get to slime Assistant Principal Belsky!
Last year we surpassed our goal of $100,000 raising $110,000… this year our goal is again set to $100,000!!
If we reach our goal, we might get to slime a mystery Grant staff member!
We will also hold our annual Holi celebration during Jogathon. Read below to learn more about Jogathon and Holi!

What is the Grant Jogathon?
An opportunity for our students to actively participate in fundraising for our awesome school! Each student will need to have a fundraising page created. Students and their families help fundraise by reaching out to people in their community. The students will then run/walk/move their bodies to show their support for our beloved Grant Elementary. All students who create a fundraising page will be entered into a drawing to win a prize! The top fundraiser within each grade will also receive a prize!
What are we fundraising for?
Grant PTA helps pay for a large list of things for our school. A few items the Jogathon will help pay for:
- Grant’s Learning Garden
- Grant’s STEAM Expo
- Classroom Instructional Supplies for ALL Students
- Gecko Academy After School Enrichment Program
Create your fundraising page
Follow the prompts to register your child/children. Step by step instructions are also listed out HERE.
We recommend you register + personalize your child’s fundraising page from a desktop for increased ease!! Once you are done it is easy to then use the mobile site to share your child’s page via emails, text or social media.
Jogathon + Holi Celebration
Since our Jogathon tends to align with the Hindu festival Holi, it has become tradition to celebrate them together! Holi is an important Hindu festival celebrated as the Festival of Colors, Love and Spring. We will be celebrating with traditional Hindu dancing and a color throw before the kids run in the Jogathon.
Prizes !!
Every student who runs in the jogathon will be entered for a chance to win prizes!
Top fundraisers will have the chance to win prizes!
THE GRADE LEVEL WHO RAISES THE MOST MONEY WILL WIN FREE HANDEL’S ICE CREAM!
