Turtle Trot raises $60K for education
Laurie Berger
PVPV/Rawlings PTO
PVPV/Rawlings Elementary School
held it’s annual Turtle Trot Fund Run on
last month on campus. The PTO and
our community partner in education,
Coastal Luxury Outdoors, presented the
event that is the largest fundraiser for
the elementary school.
The annual Turtle Trot Fund Run
encourages fitness for kindergarteners
through fifth graders while raising funds
to support the students’ educational
needs. The students walked or ran up
to 30 minutes while being cheered on
by their teachers, family members and
representatives from our school community partners in education including
Coastal Luxury Outdoors, Chick- Fil-a,
Lazzara Orthodontics, Jake Bestic, Ponte Vedra Realty and New York Life. Volunteers marked each lap completed on
the back of the newly designed t-shirts
featuring the Turtle Trot logo donated
to each student by PTO.
Reveal day was on Oct. 14 — and
the students learned they raised over
$60,000, an increase from last year’s collected donations. Because they were so
successful they were allowed to wear
flip-flops to school.
With the support of Coastal Luxury
Outdoors, PTO and numerous volunteers, the Turtle Trot Fund Run is
done completely in-house, allowing all
proceeds to go directly back into the
school. This year the proceeds will be
used for several up and coming school
improvement projects to enhance learning opportunities for all students. For
more information or to donate, please
