Madera-thon

​Get ready to move! The Madera-thon is coming! This year, we’ve renamed our annual jog-a-thon to the Madera-thon: a fun, inclusive new name inspired by the word "marathon" to reflect that everyone can participate, in their own way!


Mark your calendars for Friday, October 10th, when students will run, walk, skip, or wiggle their way toward fitness, fun, and fantastic prizes — all while raising money for the amazing programs that make Madera shine.

​
There are exciting prizes, including tickets to the Golden State Warriors or Valkyries, autographed Giants baseballs, and many more rewards are coming in. Start your outreach now — let’s make this year’s event the biggest one yet. 

​

Did you know: Last year’s students ran a cumulative 742.5 miles, far enough to take them from Madera Elementary into Canada?

Register your students here and get your pledges started: madera.pledgestar.com

The Madera Elementary Foundation (MEF) hosts the annual Jog-a-thon, a fun and active way to raise funds for enrichment programs like Music, Garden, Reading Support, Assemblies, Field Trips, Puberty Education, and more!
