Fun Run

It's Fun Run Time!

Every fall, Riffenburgh’s Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) hosts our annual Riffenburgh Fun Run. During this event, our students run, skip, walk, and dance laps while raising money for Riffenburgh. Money raised supports teachers and staff through grant requests, as well as provides support for classroom supplies, equipment updates, improvements to our school, and more. Every single Riffenburgh student benefits from Fun Run fundraising.

In the past, your generous donations have supported EcoExperience, books for the library, 5th Grade Exhibition Projects, technology upgrades, and so much more!

Riffenburgh PTO is a 501(c)3, and all donations/sponsorships are tax deductible.

A huge thank you to our 2025-2026 sponsors as well, almost of whom are local businesses owned or employed by Riffenburgh families:
