Panther Dash 2025

Paddock Community!  It's time for the PANTHER DASH!

Fundraising Period: Wednesday, September 17 - Monday, September 29

Panther Dash Obstacle Course: Tuesday, September 30

Panther Dash is Paddock PTA’s biggest fundraiser of the year with donations accepted online from Wednesday, September 17 through Monday, September 29, 2025. The fundraising campaign will culminate with the Panther Dash Obstacle Course during school on September 30, 2025. Our goal is to raise $25,000 this year which equates to $55 per student. Every donation makes a BIG impact!

Panther Dash brings in over 75% of Paddock PTA’s funding for the school year. All the funds raised will help pay for the PTA’s activities that make Paddock great! These activities include assemblies, family events, classroom parties, teacher appreciation week, and much more! In addition to our current events, we hope to establish two new all school programs this year: National PTA “Healthy Minds” Mental Health Program and One Book, One School Literacy Program.
