The Flyers Fun Run is a school-wide fundraising event that combines fitness, fun, and Franklin spirit. Students spend the week leading up to the event learning about the fundraiser, building excitement, and asking friends and neighbors to support them. On Fun Run day, students run, walk, roll, and cheer their way around the course while raising money for Franklin.
See the program in action and discover what the fun run is all about.
The Flyers Fun Run is our largest single fundraising opportunity. Money raised by Franklin supporters helps the PTSA provide experiences, resources, and support that benefit our students and teachers throughout the school year.
Fun Run support helps fund:
