How Do I Donate and Register?
The Dana Dash features an easy-to-use website called PledgeStar. Students or parents/guardians create a PledgeStar user profile. In minutes, they’re ready to solicit pledges via email or social media. Raising money has never been easier, and the students love getting involved, receiving prizes, and creating their personal page.
On the PledgeStar page, choose “Not Registered For This Event?” to sign up, or “Already Registered?” to sign back in.
Why Should I Donate?
This year’s Dana Dash (Miles of Smiles) is being 100% run by parents/volunteers and staff, so all proceeds raised will directly support FoDaC programs such as Homework Club, teacher grants, Art Club, and more! Miles of Smiles is an opportunity for your student to get involved in raising money for their school.
How Does My Child Earn Prizes?
There are several ways for your child to earn prizes. You don’t need to raise a penny for your child to qualify to receive fun incentives.
Grand prizes in every grade
Grand prizes go to the top runners, top earners, top emailers, and most spirited students in each grade.
Once We Run Miles, We Celebrate!
In December and January, students will have a chance to celebrate! Top runners, earners, emailers, and most spirited students will be recognized during an awards ceremony.
You and your child are ESSENTIAL to this event and are GREATLY appreciated!
