#GetUpandGo

Hi Central Road Community! It’s the LAST DAY!! We need your help! We are short of our goal! The PTA will be holding a fundraising campaign that will conclude on April 18th with the NEW Wolfie Dash Obstacle Course. All funds raised will help pay for the PTA events that make Central Road great! These events include: assemblies, Fall Fest, Multicultural events, classroom holiday parties, teacher appreciation week, Veterans Day breakfast, and much, much more. At the end of our fundraising period, students will participate in the Wolfie Dash where they will be running, jumping, crawling, and climbing.

The Wolfie Dash will bring in over 75% of PTA funding for the next school year, as well as some much needed items for this year. If we're able to raise enough funds in excess of our initial goal of $20,000 this year, we would like to help Principal Shostachuk fund new outdoor enhancements for the students. This is an important fundraiser for our school, and we need your help to make this campaign a success! It is because of your generous donations, the Central Road community can continue to enjoy events both in and outside of school.

Register now to begin your fundraising! Don't forget to join your teacher's team. Let's go, Wolves!

The Cause

International Rett Syndrome Foundation purpose is to support and encourage medical research to determine the cause, treatment and cure for Rett syndrome, and to provide informational and emotional support to families of those with Rett Syndrome.

About Rett Syndrome

Rett syndrome is a rare non-inherited genetic neurological disorder that affects 1 in 10,000 females (and even more rarely in males) and begins to display itself in missed milestones or regression at 6-18 months. Rett syndrome leads to severe impairments, affecting nearly every aspect of life: ability to speak, walk, eat and breathe easily. The hallmark of Rett syndrome is near constant repetitive hand movements while awake. Cognitive assessment in children with Rett syndrome is complicated, but we know that they understand far more than they can communicate to us, evidenced by their bright and attentive eyes, and their ability to express a wide spectrum of moods and emotions.

Our Mission

For 20 years, we have relentlessly pursued advanced and comprehensive research to transform the lives of all those affected by Rett syndrome. We are focused on delivering treatments and ultimately a cure for Rett syndrome while empowering families with the resources, connections and encouragement they need to thrive.

Our Home Owner's Association, Jacob's Farm of Streamwood, is organizing a CHIP-TIMED CHARITY FUN RUN with proceeds to benefit Hilltop Elementary School. Money raised will help Hilltop with a variety of educational needs. The event will be Saturday May 2nd at 10:00 AM. Come join the fun!

Registration is Open!

If you're registering after April 18th, we unfortunately cannot guarantee we will have a t-shirt in your size, but we will do our best!

"Families can select different race lengths for different participants during checkout by choosing Family 5K or Family 2.5K."
