Jogathon Wrap-up

jogathon shoesThank you to the Jogathon Co-Chairs Elena Boland and Candice Junge, and Dawn LaGuardia for working tirelessly to make this one of the most profitable fundraisers in MCN history!

 

The Apex Fun Run staff truly inspired the students and teachers with their enthusiasm and leadership lessons. We decided to partner with Apex for 2 reasons:

1- TIME– Apex invests approximately 300 hours of time in each of their Jogathon events. We wanted to ease the pressure of this large time commitment on our parents.
2- MONEY– Apex clients average 50% more profit than schools that conduct the events themselves. After calling and speaking with some of their clients (other elementary schools), and hearing their positive reviews, the MCN decided to try it.
 

As of today (Dec. 16), the MCN has earned $31,173 (after expenses)

Apex Provided the following prizes and materials to students and staff:

Budget
Apex received 48% of the Jogathon money that was raised by pledges. Apex covers their t-shirts, all the student awards, the class awards, their Team’s salaries, supplemental event insurance, marketing costs, equipment costs, travel and team expenses, training costs of the team, student pledge website costs, etc. Of that 48%, Apex indicated that they usually spend 30-35% on the above, with the remainder as profit.
