IT'S HUSTLE SEASON!
Click the image below for our launch video!
This is our biggest fundraiser of the year - and the most fun! This year's Jog-A-Thon has a new logo, a new name and a new fundraising website, but all the excitement you love about this crowd-favorite event!
We have a BIG goal - $90,000! We rely on this event to ensure we can continue to offer all of the amazing programs that the PTO supports. We appreciate your help in reaching for the stars!
REGISTER YOUR HUSKY!
1) To register your Husky and start fundraising - visit www.mybooster.com
2) Click “sign up” and then “I’m a parent or guardian” and follow the steps. You'll create YOUR account before selecting our school and event.
Tips for creating your account and making your student(s) page(s):
- Select the “sign up with GOOGLE” option if you use Gmail… that way you don’t have to remember another password/login!
- Use YOUR name (not your child’s name) to create the account. You will have a chance to add your student(s) later to make their fundraising page… but the account itself is under YOUR name. They ask for your birthday to confirm you are 18+.
- If it’s saying you already have an account when you try to create one – it might be because you’ve donated to another school/program with this before. Just login (use “forgot password” if you need to!) and then choose “I’m a Parent” – and find our school to continue the process. If it auto-populates your name… make sure the account name is YOUR name, not your child’s.
- Here's a quick tutorial video if you'd like to see the steps! The video shows them signing up with an email address… but consider using a google login if you can!
- If you have more than one kid at Hicks – it will walk you through the steps to add multiple kids. When a donor makes a donation – they will have the chance to split it equally between your kids!
CUSTOMIZE YOUR PAGE!
You can modify the donation goal, upload a photo, and even customize the wording on your student's page!
Just click the little box next to their name once you are logged in:
Check out this link for a full tour of the customization options.
SHARE THE PAGE WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY!
You can share the page with the tools on your page - the Booster platform makes it easy to email your contacts, share on Facebook, or copy the link to send a text or include it in a personal email. Remember - if you send 10 emails through the "easy emailer" - your Husky can earn their first paw charm!
WANT TO DONATE WITH CASH OR CHECKS?
Easy! Just put cash and checks (made out Hicks Canyon PTO) in an envelope WITH YOUR STUDENT'S NAME AND TEACHER clearly written on the outside, and get it to your teacher!
We HIGHLY encourage you to create your account FIRST (steps above) even if you don't plan to fundraise online, so we can ensure it's credited correctly (and you'll receive notification) once we receive it.
EARN PRIZES!
We love Prizes - and so will your Husky!
(Please note that charms and incentives deliveries will begin the week of April 7!
If you've already earned items before then - we'll get you all caught up with the first delivery!)
T-SHIRTS!
This year's shirts will feature our new Husky Hustle logo on a navy blue dry-fit shirt! Watch your "Tails from the Barkside" emails (or check back on this page) for sale dates.. we will NOT be selling online, but we'll have multiple dates to purchase at school!

VOLUNTEER ON THE HUSTLE TEAM!
Just looking to volunteer the day of the event? Stay tuned for those opportunities closer to the event!
Grade Rep Volunteers
This role DOES require some on-campus time: estimated about 30 minutes per week for the 4 weeks leading up to the event. It could even be less... depending on how many reps sign up for your grade!
Grade Rep Volunteers will:
- Deliver charms to classrooms - handing them out to kids who have earned incentives! This needs to be done 1/week for the 4 weeks leading up to the event. You'll have a roster for each class clarifying exactly what each student has earned for that week - and you'll let them pick their charm colors and help them thread them on their necklaces.
- AFTER the event - you'll schedule and host 2 ice-pop parties for the winning classes in your grade (one for the top fundraising class, and one for the class with the most laps run). You'll coordinate the timing of these with the winning classroom teachers in early May.
All materials and training are provided for you - we just need you to bring your enthusiasm and excitement about the Husky Hustle! Complete the sign-up form to join us!
AT-HOME Support Jobs
Charm creators:
We're looking for a few folks available to help us prep "charms" - by putting "jump rings" on the little charms. Will provide you with the charms and rings... you'll want a small pair of pliers to squeeze the rings closed. Just email us at huskyhustle@hickscanyon.org if you can help out! You can commit to as little or as much of a time block as you like on this one... I'll get you materials to fit the time you have!
Certificate prep:
We have a stack of certificates to give to our students at the end of the event - and we need them separated into piles to distribute to classes based on student numbers. I'll get you the box of certificates and the class # counts... just need you to count them out and label bundles with the teacher's names. Email us at huskyhustle@hickscanyon.org if you can help out!
