3. What Does Pledging to the Run Mean, Exactly?
By committing to this event, and pledging to raise money for its success, you are helping raise invaluable funds to enhance the quality of life for at risk children and teens in Arizona.
All proceeds raised from the Run will be donated to Barrio Nuevo (www.barrionuevophoenix.com), a non-profit in South Phoenix who focuses on helping children and teens in need. With your support, we can make a difference and help people in our community with providing the support they need to live more productive, meaningful lives.
We wish you all the success possible. Enjoy the run… and get all the sponsors you can, so when you cross that finish line, we will all be winners – you, and all the kids that will benefit from houses being built, food being provided, and tutoring programs being created.
 
4. How can my sponsors submit payment?
Online contributions can be made by credit card on the runner’s personalized page found on this website. Just make sure to tell your sponsors to select your name from the list of runners. 
 
5. I am concerned that I might not be able to raise the required funds. Will I be able to do it?
Even if you've never raised money before, our materials and strategies will make it easy for you to solicit and collect sponsorships from friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, and others. Experience has shown that it is not only possible, but enjoyable, to set and reach your goals. Please refer to the sample letters found on your personal fundraising page center, that explains the programs the Run supports, and you will be surprised to see how quickly friends, family, and co-workers will respond to your request to help this wonderful cause. Just remember to make it personal as well, as you want them to know that they are sponsoring YOU and YOUR efforts! And, as many companies offer charitable donation matching programs, make sure to ask your sponsors to check with their employers, as it will help you meet your goal ever more quickly.
 
6. Is the Run only for Runners?
No! The Run is designed as a day of fun and fitness for the whole family! All friends or relatives are welcome. The more participants, the merrier!  
 
7. Do You Run Alone or as a Team?
Each student is part of a team with their grade level. The grade that raises the most money and has the greatest number of participants will win an ice cream party. (One grade from Archway, one grade from middle school, and one grade from high school will win). Any family or friends that do not attend Scottsdale Prep or Archway Scottsdale will register as individual runners.

Parking will be at Scottsdale Prep and along 91st and 92nd street.
