Youth Running Club
Equip our Educators
Our teachers are superheroes, and it's our mission to build a strong, supportive community around them.
In 2024, Chico Striders proudly hosted its first annual back to school fundraiser to support our dedicated teachers. Each year, our teachers spend their own money to meet the needs of their classrooms. We partnered with InterWest Insurance, which generously matched donations from their staff. We were also grateful for the support from Bean Counting Firm and Upper Crust Bakery. Together, we raised over $2,000 in supplies, directly benefiting 18 teachers and several local elementary schools.
Are you a teacher looking for support?
Are you a teacher spending your own money for school supplies, or a school that could use extra support? We're working to compile a list of teachers and schools ahead of the 2025-2026 school year to kickstart our fundraising efforts sooner. Please take a moment to fill out the contact form below to join our supply drive list.
Do you work for or own a business that would like to get involved?
We'll provide your business with a set number of teachers and their wish lists, so your staff can get directly involved in fulfilling their classroom needs. It's a fantastic way to support education, give back to the community, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of our educators and students. Together, we can ensure a great start to the school year!
