Foothills FTO only holds 1 fundraiser each year; the Raccoon Romp. Students run/walk laps and receive pledged donations per lap. Straight donations are also accepted from our Friends of Foothills. Friends of Foothills will have their ad printed on the Raccoon Romp t-shirts and a banner that hangs at the school for the remainder of the school year. Romp needs several volunteers to make the event happen. Volunteers will be needed to distribute t-shirts, count laps, man the first aid booth, man the water bottle table, distribute prizes, etc. If you are interested in volunteering, contact one of the Raccoon Romp chairs.
