Race for the Arts

Natomas Arts and Education Foundation (NAEF) sponsors a Team for Natomas Charter School in the Annual Race for the Arts. This annual community event is a lot of fun for NCS, we hope to have a Team for the 5K Walk/Run (most walk this), NAEF will have a booth there, and we use this as our kickoff fundraising event for the 2025-2026 school year! For more information about the event itself, please click here http://raceforthearts.com/.

To join Team NCS, click the “Join Our Team” button below.

For the fundraising aspect of this event, NAEF gets to keep 100% of the money raised. This will help as we continue our major capital fundraising for both the Blackrock campus as well as Star Academy. Download the fundraising donation form for our team HERE. You can also have family and friends go to https://runsignup.com/NatomasCharter and click on the “Donate” button to contribute. This is a very grassroots fundraising event, if you are part of the team, you can individually contact your friends and family and ask them to sponsor you for this run/walk; if you aren’t able to participate, you can still support this fundraising effort by contacting your family and friends and ask them to support your school’s team! Our goal is to raise $10,000 for this event.
