Company Matching

Anyone who donates to the Jog-a-thon can qualify for our company matching program! Many companies match donations or donate for volunteer hours.  Ask your HR departments if they do this.  Companies who don't have a matching program may also make a one-time matching donation. See our Matching page for more information and a list of companies that match.  (https://www.saintgeorgeseattle.org/giving/matching)

 

Jogathon Overview & History

We have 2 main fundraisers for the year – the Jog-a-thon and Auction.  The Jog-a-thon is St. George’s time immemorial event that kicks off our school year with great community spirit.  Students and their families participate after Mass on the last Sunday of September.  Students fundraisers receive a special Jog-a-thon t-shirt designed by a schoolmate that wins the t-shirt design contest.

​

In the past, we would get pledges for running laps at Cleveland Field.  Now, our course runs through the Beacon Hill neighborhood, around Maple Field, and back to the school to celebrate with an ice cream treat, BBQ lunch, prizes, and community bonding. 

 

You can help support by donating time, cash or goods for the Jog-a-thon event.  Every dollar counts.  Thank you!
