Casselberry Elementary is a proud Title I School in Seminole County Public Schools, and we are preparing for our annual Fun Run fundraiser, the Bamboo Bolt! Last year, our students and families raised an incredible $28,000, and this year we are hoping to reach $30,000. The Bamboo Bolt is run entirely through community support and volunteers, meaning 100% of the funds raised go directly back to our school and classrooms. To help make this event exciting and rewarding for our students, we are seeking donations of prizes, gift cards, experiences, tickets, merchandise, or other giveaways that can be used as incentives throughout the fundraiser. These donations help motivate students, increase participation, and create a fun experience for all. Your support would have a direct impact on our students and school community. In appreciation of your generosity, we will proudly recognize and promote your business or organization to our school families, highlighting the wonderful community partners who help make events like this possible. No donation is too small, and every contribution helps us move closer to our goal while creating lasting memories for our students. Thank you for considering a donation to support Casselberry Elementary and our Bamboo Bolt Fun Run. We truly appreciate your partnership and commitment to helping our students thrive.
