How the Bulldog Jog Works

Simple, fun, and impactful — here's how every Bulldog Jog comes together.

1
Students Collect Pledges

Students ask family, friends, and neighbors to sponsor them per lap or with a flat donation through CheddarUp's secure platform.

2
Run Day!

Every student runs as many laps as they can around the school track in a festive, music-filled event — a true Hirsch community celebration.

3
Funds Go to Hirsch

100% of proceeds stay at Hirsch — funding the programs, supplies, and events that make a Hirsch education exceptional.

🐾 Bulldog Jog 2026–27

Mark your calendars! The Bulldog Jog returns in October 2026. Details and registration will open in August 2026.

Common Questions

When does the Bulldog Jog happen each year?

The Bulldog Jog is held each October, typically in the first half of the month. Watch for the official announcement in the Back-to-School packet and on the PTA calendar in August.

How do I make a donation?

Donations are collected securely through CheddarUp. You can donate online at any time using the "Donate via CheddarUp" button on this page. We accept all major credit cards. Cash and check donations can also be dropped off at the school office — make checks payable to "Hirsch PTA."

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Yes! The Hirsch PTA is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 94-6184147). All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You will receive a receipt via email for online donations.

Where does the money go?

100% of Bulldog Jog proceeds go directly to Hirsch students. As with all PTA donations, 80% funds classroom supplies and field trips; 20% funds school-wide programs like assemblies, cultural events, and arts enrichment.

How can I volunteer for the Bulldog Jog?

We love volunteers! We need help with setup, running the event day, cheering on students, managing the finish line, and cleanup. Visit our Volunteer page or email pta.hirsch@gmail.com to sign up.

My child's school isn't Hirsch — can I still donate?

Absolutely! Donations from outside the Hirsch community are warmly welcome. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we can accept donations from anyone who wants to support elementary education in Fremont.
