Ever heard of PTO Today? Well they’re a nationally recognized company that provides resources, programs, tools, and articles for PTO and PTA groups! In their latest publication PTO Today wrote all about how to organize a successful Fun Run event. In their article they featured yours truly!...Well, sort of. While PTO Today was unable to list any specific company names, including The Get Movin’ Crew, they did refer to our services and highlighted one of our clients: Bramlett Elementary! Here’s what they had to say about TGMC: “…a company that provides all the marketing materials, hosts individual websites for students, and takes pledges online.” While they didn't mention our awesome Personal Event Coaches and customizable Report System, we think PTO Today did a pretty good job of summing up our services in a single sentence!

Putting Good Tips to Great UseFor the second half of this blog post we want to take the tips from the PTO Today article and show our readers how TGMC puts each one to great use through our fundraising services! 1. “The most important component is a group of excited, motivated kids who can’t wait to get to the starting line.”At TGMC we have an amazing resource called the Event Toolbox. Basically, this is a stuffed full of step-by-step guides for putting on your own event/Fun Run. It includes assembly script, promotional flyers & tons of student incentive ideas! We've done thousands of Fun Runs & everything we've learned is in this toolbox, including how to keep students motivated and excited through great experience-based rewards. 2. “Students are encouraged to collect donations or pledges, either as a lump sum or for each lap that’s run.”Our Student Fundraising Pages are, by far, the most important online component of The Get Movin' Crew program. Schools typically raise 70% of total donations online and earn at least 50% more when they add in this crucial online component! Each student has the potential to raise, on average, $95 with their fundraising page, compared to an average $35 in cash/check. Plus, it’s a quick and easy set-up process for parents, they simply register their child (taking less than 2 minutes) and begin sharing his/her page with family & friends using our online sharing tools!
