Wilson Primary Center Raises $21,000 in First Ever Glow Run

WPC hosts incredibly successful fundraiser with first ever Glow Run

(Kelly Klaif l WPC Teacher)

The Wilson Primary Center PTO, led by Nicole Lamb and Megan DeFeo, successfully hosted the first-ever Wilson Glow Run, which raised $21,000 for Wilson Primary Center. Our event was made possible thanks to our students, parents, teachers, and business sponsors (Milestone Pediatric Dentistry, Flip Consignment, Schroth & Lorenson Jewelers, Florham Park Diner, Broadway Diner, and Privado Salon.) Thank you all for your energy, enthusiasm, and support. Thank you to our class parents, who helped spread the word and drum up excitement. And a special thanks to Principal Evan Kozak and Mrs. Rachel Killeen, who supported the idea from Day 1 and worked to make the event happen. We had 91% of our students register, and 80% of our students earn donations. We set out to raise 8,000 for enriched STEAM programming, new PE equipment, and a brand-new outdoor area for our kids and their teachers to eat lunch and learn outside on a nice day. We are proud to announce that we will be able to support all of these initiatives and more because of the incredible success of this year’s glow run.
