Booster Team Members Teach Fitness, Leadership and Character to Students While Raising Needed Funds For Schools 

Orlando—February 16, 2010—Orangewood Christian School kicks off a 2-week fitness, leadership and character program called the Boosterthon Fun Run. The Booster program replaces former product sales campaigns, and engages students, parents and school faculty and staff in an exciting challenge to boost both funding and enthusiasm in the classroom.

Similar character programs can cost thousands of dollars, but Booster covers all administrative costs and has shown a funding increase of nearly 70 percent over other traditional methods.

“Booster helps schools raise funds, but more-so, we’re out to impact the world one student at time,” said Chris Carneal, Booster founder and president. “More than the fitness and financial benefits, the big win is what the students gain by way of character education. Not only are our team members enthusiastic, they are incredible role models. They have taken it upon themselves to be a good influence for students across the nation, and impact the world in a positive way.”

Founded on the visible need for fitness, leadership and character development in schools, the Boosterthon Fun Run was created to change the landscape of education funding strategies and to empower today’s youth. The Atlanta-based company with a vision to serve students and schools has grown significantly since its inception in 2001, serving over 1,000 schools and helping them raise more than $54 million.

How does Booster work? Students are invited to gather pledges for each lap they run in the Boosterthon Fun Run, the culminating event of the 2-week program. Prior to the actual run, Booster team members bring the classroom to life teaching values based on the theme “STAND UP” which represents the following character initiatives:

• Serve One Another
• Take Time to Read
• Ask Great Questions
• Never Give Up
• Discover Your Talents

Booster’s hassle-free program encourages students to live healthy, active lifestyles and make positive choices. In addition, schools are seeing donations pour in from all 50 states in most cases and several countries outside the U.S., a feat rarely seen with other methods.

The key to Booster’s success is a derivative of a corporate culture that builds from the inside out. The company’s grounded character internally enables their team to make a huge impact in the communities they serve, changing the world one child and one leader at a time.
