The Brooklyn PTA Fun Run is a family-friendly event where Brooklyn PTAs and community members of all ages come together to run/bike/scoot/walk around Prospect Park loop road (approximately 5K).
What’s unique about the Fun Run is that it brings dozens of schools together to raise money together for Brooklyn schools who have/had Title I status in the past three years (i.e. 60% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch). This is one of the only community wide fundraisers where money is pooled and re-distributed to PTAs that have less capacity to raise their own funds. Last year the Fun Run raised over $18,000 for local schools!
We’re excited to partner with The Office of New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, Kids Rock for Kids, NewYork-Presbyterian, and the Prospect Park Alliance on this event!
If you are putting together a team to participate from your school, please identify a Fun Run liaison from your PTA and register here to receive updates from our office regarding the process.
We have fee waivers available to make sure that everyone has access to the event—reach out to us directly if that’s of interest!
