Run For the Arts drop by

Run for the Arts is an annual jogathon organized by Young Audiences where kids gather pledges in order to raise money to subsidize arts funding in schools. Last year nearly 22,000 students from 82 schools in Oregon & SW Washington participated in the Run, raising over $730,000! One of the incentives for the kids the chance to earn a free t-shirt by reaching a certain level of pledges. The designs have always been done by kids themselves. This year’s designer was Caemlyn Dayson, who goes to Arleta School,. She had some help from her older brother Darion, who goes to Franklin High School.
