Our fundraising goal for this event is $100,000, and proceeds will directly benefit two essential campus initiatives: the Annual Teacher Fund (ATF) and our BASIS JLJ Parent Boosters. The ATF is a powerful way to support the educators who go above and beyond for our students every single day. One hundred percent of ATF donations go directly to returning teachers as merit-based bonuses—no funds are allocated to administrators or non-teaching staff. Bonuses are awarded based on student academic growth, classroom excellence, contributions to school culture, and parent satisfaction. Your donation helps us retain the exceptional teachers who make our classrooms thrive.
The BASIS JLJ Parent Boosters are a dedicated group of parent volunteers focused on enhancing campus life and building community. Your support helps the Boosters maintain and improve campus facilities, host teacher appreciation events, organize family-centered gatherings, and fund enrichment opportunities not covered by public funding. Whether it’s a festive event or a simple thank-you lunch, Booster-led efforts make BASIS JLJ a place where families feel connected and supported.
The Raptor Dash 5K is an opportunity to give back, get active, and grow our school’s future. Every step you take and every dollar you give helps us build a stronger, more vibrant campus—for our teachers, our students, and our entire JLJ family. Let’s kick off the 2025–2026 school year with pride, gratitude, and momentum. Thank you for supporting BASIS JLJ—we’ll see you at the starting line!
