QAE JOG-A-THON
Our only kid-powered fundraising event of the year!
Jog-A-Thon 2022 was a Blast! Thank you to everyone who made the event such a success especially Tamara Convertino, Ms Josie, our dedicated volunteers and our QAE Explorers!
Each October we kick off the QAE school year with one of the most fun events for our community: the QAE Jog-A-Thon, our annual student-driven fundraiser. It's also a wonderful way to share our students' project-based learning, social emotional skills, and one-to-world global citizenship program with friends and family.

Fundraise the Easy Way
QAE uses the PledgeStar site for online fundraising. The system is efficient and very user-friendly and a great way to share the amazing things happening at our school with friends and family. It’s also secure: PledgeStar doesn’t share email addresses with anyone and doesn’t expose students’ personal pages on the web unless you choose to share their private link via social media.
Signing up will take less than 10 minutes of your time, including asking friends & family to sponsor your student(s):
Have someone who wants to donate by check rather than credit card? They can go ahead and fill out the PledgeStar form online and select the "check" option. You will receive a notification of their donation and they'll receive a receipt for tax purposes. Have them make the check out to "QAE PTSA." Just drop off or mail the check to the office and it will get to the fundraising team. If mailing a check, remember that our address has changed:
Queen Anne Elementary
c/o Jog-A-Thon
2001 4th Avenue North
Seattle, WA 98109
Questions about anything? See the FAQ below or email jogathon1@qaeptsa.org and we’d be happy to help! We are very excited to celebrate our amazing community and share the joy of the Jog-A-Thon!
- Go to www.pledgestar.com/qae.
- Click on "Not Registered For this Year's Event?" and enter your name, email address and create a password. Enter you jogger's name and teacher. Note: if you registered with PledgeStar last year, use the same email address and the system will remember all your contacts. Cool, right?
- If you're new to the system, you'll be asked to upload a photo (if you'd like) and provide 3-10 email addresses for family and friends so our system can send a personalized email from your child.
- After you enter the emails, our system will send a sweet letter from your child(ren) is sent to potential sponsors via PledgeStar -- it’s pretty darn irresistible with YOUR student’s photo there on the letter! Sponsors also see an inspiring little slideshow that shares some of the amazing things our PTSA does with the funds we raise.
- You can share your student's PledgeStar link on Facebook and other social media if you wish!
- After a supporter makes their donation, PledgeStar will acknowledge their generosity with a thank you email and a receipt for tax purposes. You’ll also be notified immediately that they contributed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Getting ready during a previous Jog-A-Thon
What is different this year vs previous years?
This year we will be doing the Jog-a-thon during PE time again with students running in 3 grade groups: 4/5, 2/3 and K/1, and this year we are delighted to be able to invite spectators to cheer on students as well as welcoming lots of volunteers to support the event.
Can my student walk if they can’t run or don’t like to run?
Yes! We want everyone to have fun and feel proud of their participation and accomplishing their goals!
Does the Jog-A-Thon still happen in inclement weather?
Yes, Jog-A-Thon will take place rain or shine.
Can I volunteer to help out?
Yes please, we are looking for volunteers to support the advance preparation and running (get it?) of the event on the day. Contact volunteer@qaeptsa.org with Jog-A-Thon in the title if you are interested in adding your name.
Do we have to raise money to participate?
While we hope that families will be able to fundraise to the degree they feel comfortable, our goal is that every QAE student participate in the Jog-A-Thon and feel proud of their accomplishments. Our student-driven fundraiser is a big part of our school’s fundraising plan and aims to raise $40,000 to support things like: curriculum enrichment, including art class for each student; social-emotional learning curriculum and teacher training; tutoring programs to help students succeed in reading and math; and instructional assistants to reduce the teacher/student ratio in early grades.
Note that PledgeStar automatically assigns each student a goal of fundraising $150. This is only a guideline and is auto-generated for every student at QAE. Some students raise over $150, others raise less - just have your student do their best to help QAE in a way that feels comfortable for your family!
Does it cost anything to participate?
No.
