What is the Kanga Fun Run?
Keene Mill's Kanga Fun Run is an 8-day fundraising program through Booster and is the only annual fundraiser for both the school and PTA. By collecting pledges from family and friends across the world, you are supporting the Keene Mill community.
Keene Mill is raising $25,000 for expanding our Maker Space, improve sound equipment, upgrade outdoor space, and support academic and social-emotional growth!
During the program, students learn a different character trait through daily videos at school and nightly challenges. Students get moving and exercising during the exciting conclusion of the event - the Fun Run! This year the Fun Run will take place on Thursday, April 23rd.
Students can win prizes for collecting pledges. This year the prizes are in partnership with Dude Perfect and Dave & Busters. Prizes will be delivered daily to their classrooms.
All students will participate in the Fun Run event on April 23rd, regardless of financial participation.

How can students get donations?
Families can help connect students to sponsors by sharing their fundraising link on Facebook, through email, or even a text. Sponsors can enter and pay for those donations online through students’ fundraising link! Simply go to mybooster.com to register today. Every share counts!
Will laps be counted?
All students will be assessed the historical Keene Mill average of 34 minutes of participating. Rather than taking time students individually, we prefer to keep the kids moving during the Fun Run. By choosing to automatically give students credit 34 minutes of participation, both students and teachers alike get to fully engage in the experience.
How big is the track?
The Outdoor Fun Run track is about 1/16th of a mile, 1/4 the size of a normal high school track. The average student will complete 30-35 laps over the 40-50 minutes of the run. Don't worry there are walking laps, dancing laps, silly laps and so much more. Plus, students are encouraged to take water breaks as well. No one is required to run for the entire time.
Can students receive a prize for flat donations?
Yes! All flat donations count toward donations and are rounded by 30, so a $30 donation is the same as $1 per lap. A $60 donation is the same as $2 per lap, etc.
What if families don’t have the Internet?
If a student’s family does not have Internet access, families can send in cash or check in an envelope labeled with their student’s name and their teacher’s name.
How do sponsors pay?
Sponsors will be prompted to pay online for all donations, even per minute donations. Sponsors will receive an email after the Keene Mill Kanga Fun Run with the amount of their payment based on how many laps were completed.
Can I make a donation if I don’t want to pay online?
YES! You can either turn in the payment for a donation listed on the Fundraising Guide, or you can request to turn off online payments for your account through our help desk on mybooster.com.
When is donation money due?
Donation money is due within ONE WEEK after the event. Families have one week to collect their donations after the Keene Mill Kanga Fun Run.
Can I write a check?
For donations not made on mybooster.com, you can still turn in cash or check. Please make checks out to "Keene Mill PTA."
