The Creekside Eagles Fun Run!
Our Creekside Eagles Fun Run program is off and running! Parents, you may be asking yourself, “What’s the best way to get a pledge?”
Answer: STUDENT STAR VIDEO! Parents who send a Student Star video to friends and family raise, on average, $90 more than those who don’t. It’s the EASIEST and BEST way to ask for a pledge, plus this hilarious video will have your friends and family in stitches.
Simply log in to FUNRUN.COM, click the “Create Student Star Video” button, upload a photo of your child, and off you go!
(The Creekside registration code is 388-165)
