2023 Royal Fun Run Log0 by Chloe Batiz

Thank You! 

Thanks to everyone for your contributions to the Buist Academy Royal Fun Run. Our school community had a wonderful time and surpassed our initial goal. We appreciate students, parents, faculty, and staff for making this fundraising campaign a huge success each year.  

Thank you to parent volunteer Jennifer Morgan for leading this event. Special thanks to Ms. Chandler and Ms. White for their support throughout the entire fundraising process. We appreciate our teachers for creating class incentives and volunteering to contribute to special prizes! Shout out to all parent volunteers! We could not have done this without your help with music, t-shirts, prizes, refreshments, games, and crowd management. 


Once all pledges and donations have been reconciled, we will announce the final total and prize winners. https://buist.myfunrun.com/
