Eagle Run

September 20, 2024

This is a big fundraiser for the Edison PTA

Students run around the field and try to get as many laps as they can in their allotted time (each grade level has a time limit that fits their abilities).   

Students can get pledges for how many laps they complete or a general donation. 

Eagle Run 2024 will be raising funds for the Para Champaign for Para Professionals at Edison for the 2025/2026 school year. 


Our Goal this year is $100,000! Which is a huge goal, but the impacts the Edison Para's do for our students and teachers is HUGE!
