We know Pleasanton families value this signature community event and fundraiser for our schools. Therefore, we are working to reshape this event for 2020. We have discussed the possibility of a virtual run and / or back-to-school family event at the beginning of next school year, but we are still working out the details.

Last year, the PPIE Run raised $115,000 for our schools and the Annual Run for Education is PPIE’s biggest annual fund raising event. PPIE staff will be in touch with the current registrants. Thank you for your patience as we look to develop a fun event that supports our schools.
