One post could never capture all the fun and magic that is the Ripple Run, but we can still try!

THANK YOU to everyone who makes this event possible year after year. To the Riverbend Elementary staff who are supportive and help us realize our ideas(even the crazy ones), to the parents who give to the parents who show up and get to work, to the students who play along. The Ripple Run wouldn't be without all of you.

And now thanks to your generosity we get to dream about all the ways we can enrich and enhance the experience of students in our school! We are blown away by your generosity!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

We are at 95% of our Ripple Run goal!!!! 📣👏🏻

To celebrate as we inch closer to our goal, we are going to offer some bonus chances to shop in the display case!

ANY student that brings in ANY donation on 5/29-5/31 (9:15am cutoff)will be entered into a last chance drawing on Friday to shop from the display case! After our $250 earners finish shopping we will do drawings until we run out of prizes. No minimum required! When we say it all counts - we mean it!

We’ve got this Otters!

We are on the home stretch with just a few days until the Ripple Run is here! Here's hoping we get sunshine! ☀️

We are so close to hitting our goal! We've now got 8 classrooms that have hit their goal and earned an ice cream party. How many more will join them?!

If you are earning for incentives, you'll want to have your money submitted online or handed into the office by 9:15am on Friday morning! That's when we'll do our last incentive hand out and take our final group of Super Stars shopping in the display case. We're restocking some of the most popular items and bringing in a couple new things this week!

Keep it up, Otters! We're almost there!

It's not too late to join in! You can still register for an online giving site, or send in ANY size donation to the school office and your student will receive the first incentive!

It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for more Ripple Run incentives! Today 100 kids went home with a variety of prizes for being involved! We are now 60% of the way to our goal! Keep it up, Otters! Your hard work is paying off! We’ve still got a couple more weeks to go!

Silverwood Time! https://riverbendptsa.square.site/

Keep up the great work, Otters! We are now officially half way to our school goal!!!!

Fun fact: This amount raised has come from only 126 students. That means we still have 500 students we'd love to see get involved! When we rally together, we can be the ripple and knock this goal out of the water! 🌊

Remember, we have prizes that begin at ANY size of donation. It all helps - big or small! Use the link to register your student today, share your page with a few friends and family, and see what happens! Go Otters!

Ripple Run | FundHub Riverbend Elementary looks forward to our annual tradition of the Ripple Run! This FUNdraiser raises the bulk of our PTSA funds, which are invested directly back into our school! Not only that, but our school community has a blast getting outside and running/walking together as we celebrate on event...

It's time for a Friday Ripple Run update! We had a blast today handing out the first round of incentives (we even snuck in some bonus prizes just for fun) and our school is off to a great start!

We've got 8 kids who have already earned a prize from the display case, and two classrooms who have hit their goal and earned a class ice cream party!

There are so many ways for your student to win this month with the Ripple Run! And don't forget that the top earner in each class will get to stay after school on Friday, June 7 for a VIP bonus session on the Ninja course!

We are 32% of the way to our goal! With your help, we can achieve 100%!
