Fun Run & Trike-A-Thon
September 26 – October 3, 2025

Each fall, Eastside Christian School comes alive with two exciting community events that put our students “in motion”!

For our Kindergarten–8th grade students, the Fun Run is a joyful tradition organized by our Parent-Teacher Fellowship. It brings together students, teachers, parents, and friends of ECS in support of our classrooms and community. Proceeds support extra learning supplies, family events that strengthen our community, and teacher appreciation that shows how much we value our teachers—bringing joy, stability, and excellence into the classroom and making the school our students love even better.

Meanwhile, our Preschool and PreK students proudly strap on their helmets for the Trike-A-Thon, when they ride, scoot or bike their way around our trike-a-thon course.  Each event is an opportunity for our preschool parents to gather and cheer for our community.  The children’s joy is contagious as they circle the path together, and acts as inspiration for parents and extended family as they donate toward our wonderful preschool programs. Recent donations have allowed us to purchase new outdoor playground equipment, classroom toys that encourage age-appropriate pretend play, and a myriad of supplies that enhance our children’s education through hands-on learning.

Our donation form gives you the option to designate donations to individual students, and you can add more than one designated student donation to the same form before you enter your credit card information.

After you enter your contact info, and choose “Yes” to designate your donation, you can search for individual students by clicking on the “+ Link” button, and then use the search bar to type in a student’s First Name. Ensure you are choosing the correct student by double checking their Last Name (first initial) and their Grade. Each student is listed by “First Name, First Initial of Last Name, Grade Level”. Enter the donation $ amount you want to designate to that student and click on “Submit”.

You can then click “Add Student” to add another designated student donation OR click “Next” to go to the payment page and enter your credit card information.

After payment, you can choose to print your receipt, and you will also receive an email confirmation of payment from Stripe (our payment processor). Questions about the donation form can be emailed to swampler@ecswa.org.

If you would prefer to donate by check, please make your check payable to “Eastside Christian School,” and note “Fun Run” or “Trike-a-thon” in the Memo line. Checks may be dropped or mailed to:

Eastside Christian School
