Ohana Run 2026

On March 13, Orchard Hills elementary students will make waves on the track in support of their school at the Ohana Run. With island vibes and aloha spirit, the Ohana Run is going to be the most festive event of the year!

The Ohana Run is so much more than a run! It’s a sun-sational celebration of special events, friendly competition and exciting prizes. And with a goal of $67,000 - it’s the biggest fundraising event of the year!

The Ohana Run is this year's Hawaiian-themed iteration of the annual OH Elementary jog-a-thon. Every year, the jog-a-thon raises funds for physical education, sports, and educational enrichment programs for OH Elementary students. Without your support, they would not have full access to a specialized P.E. educator, safe and maintained sports equipment, and educational activities beyond what the state and school district provides.

Supporting the Ohana Run is easy - every donation helps our students shine brighter and supports our elementary enrichment programs. Here's how you can contribute:

1. Online: Donate to your student's unique fundraising page at pto.ohhawks.org. See detailed instructions on finding your student's page below.
2. Share: Share the fundraiser with family and friends by adding their email addresses into the Membership Toolkit or sending a donation link. 
3. Cash or Check: Turn in cash and check donations to your student's teacher. Checks can be made payable to: Orchard Hills PTO

To find your student's fundraising page from My Account in Membership Toolkit:

1. Login into Membership Toolkit and click on "My Account"
2. Find My Pages and then Fundraising Campaigns
3. Check that your student is in the correct class! If they are not, please scroll down to learn how to update your Family Information in Membership Toolkit

To find your student's fundraising page from the Ohana Run Main Page:

1. Click on the Ohana Run banner on the homepage, or find "Ohana Run" under Fundraisers in the Main Navigation menu
2. Find the leaderboard on the right side of the screen, and click on your student's teacher
3. Find your student 

If you can't locate your student under your student's teacher, it means that your Family Information is out-of-date (they are still under their teacher from last year) or you do not have an account in Membership Toolkit. If that is the case, you can find detailed information about How to Update your Family Information in the Ohana Run Parent Resource Hub along with other details about the event.

To share the fundraiser via Membership Toolkit: Enter email addresses of your contacts into the system (My Account < My Pages < Fundraising Campaigns < Edit My Student). When you add emails, the system automatically generates an email to your contacts that links directly to your student's fundraising page. Don't worry, we do not share this information with anyone, and we will not spam your contacts! Contacts entered the system will receive one email during the first few weeks of the fundraiser, two emails the weeks after, and three emails the last week before the run. Once a contact donates, they do not receive any more emails. 

If you would like to invite your contacts to donate via text message or your own email, please be sure that you are linking directly to your student's unique fundraising page.
