Bulldog Bolt FAQs
1st Annual Briarcliff Elementary
WHAT IS THE BULLDOG BOLT?
A schoolwide fun run that helps us build spirit and GET FIT while raising funds! On Bulldog Bolt
day, students, staff, and interested parents head outdoors to run (and walk) on our school track.
BULLDOG BOLT
HOW DOES IT RAISE MONEY, AND WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
We ask family and friends to make tax-deductible donations. All students participate. This is
our major PTA fundraiser of the year, and it helps maintain and support all our PTA
programming all year long! See front cover for details.
Fun Run & Fundraiser

HOW MUCH DO PEOPLE USUALLY PLEDGE?
People can pledge any amount of their choice. We’re grateful for every dollar we receive. If
every student raises just $40, we’ll exceed our $20,000 goal.
HOW CAN FAMILIES GET STARTED?
Step 1:
Register your child at thegetmovincrew.com Click on “Get Registered” in the red box
at the bottom right hand corner & set up their easy to use fundraising page or fill out
the student information section on this pledge form.
Step 2:
Send your child’s unique fundraising webpage to family & friends across the country
(& world!) via email or social media. This is a chance for out of state family to help
support our school!
Step 3:
If using this paper form always take a parent with you when asking for donations.
Kids, don't talk to strangers! DO NOT go door to door alone. Remember to say
“Thank you!” If your family prefers not to solicit pledges, please consider making a
family donation.
Step 4:
Collect donations, make sure your pledge form is complete, and put the money and
form into the attached envelope labeled with child’s name/teacher name. Kids, give
this to your teacher by May 8.
Step 5:
JOIN US AT THE BULLDOG BOLT ON MAY 1 AND HAVE A BLAST! Come cheer the kids
on! Volunteer to help if you can … you MUST be a registered volunteer with WCPSS.
