Huskies Run - 2022/23

  • Helen Keller Elementary 1505 North Campbell Road Royal Oak, MI, 48067 (map)

It’s time for our annual Huskies Run fundraiser! Now through October 18, our students can raise money for their school in our biggest fundraiser of the year.💰 The run will take place on October 14 during the school day, when all students will walk or run a designated course around the school.

We need everyone’s help! The money raised helps the PTA fund:
• PTA programs
• Field trips
• Assemblies
• Technology
• Classroom supplies
• Playground improvements
• Equipment

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
✅Register your child at: https://app.memberhub.gives/huskyrun2022
✅Donate online using a credit or debit card.
- 🛑 Please note: When making a donation, you’ll be prompted to tip. The tip DOES NOT go to Keller or our students. It goes directly to MemberHub. Please skip the tip to make sure donations reach our students!
✅Promote our fundraiser by sharing your child’s fundraising website through email and social media. Donors can also text “huskiesrun2022” to (919) 626-3277.
✅Check the website to track your student’s donations and see where their class stands!
