The Merton Color Run is a 14 day fundraiser, with the Color Run Event taking place on 10/29/2025. Families will be getting donations for the laps their student completes at the Merton Color Run. Funds raised from this event go toward the remaining turf soccer field funds, classroom supplies, teacher requests, and student needs! Our goal is to raise $45,000.
The fundraising system itself will remain open until November 7, 2025.

If you have more than one student in your family, you can check "Enable Family Pledging" which allows you (as a parent) to share one family donation page for all of your students. Donors can make one single donation which is split equally between your students.
Edit the amount your student would like to set as their Donation Goal Per Lap. (As a default, we've set all students to earn 35 laps at the Color Run event whether they actually run that amount or not).

Classroom Incentives
Classroom Incentives
Work together with your classmates to earn classroom incentives!
The number of students registered and dollars earned and (recorded individually through the BoosterThon website) will feed into each classroom's efforts. No additional record-keeping is needed; everything will calculate automatically.
If a class is eligible for a classroom incentive, the teacher will be notified and will select (and announce to parents & students) what day that incentive will be awarded. This allows for the teacher to best accommodate their class's schedule.

If you have multiple children at school, you’ll create a page for your family and list each student within that.
When the system sends an email out to request donations, it will send one email on behalf of your family as a whole. Any donation received will be split evenly among your kids.
