From the Organizer
Join the Oconomowoc Public Education Foundation (OPEF) for a 1-mile or 2-mile run to support our schools! This fall, OPEF is striving to raise at least $25,000 to fund new gymnastics equipment for the elementary schools, sound system improvements at the middle school, and more!
OPEF is a collaborative partner of the Oconomowoc Area School District (OASD). OPEF raises and provides funds for innovative educational opportunities and experiences not funded in the core school district budget – including classroom grants, facilities improvements, and innovative curriculum. OPEF has given more than $500,000 to the OASD in the past 18 years. Help OPEF continue the legacy of gifts from the community…to the schools…for our future!
Wear your OPEF Trick or Trot shirt, your school swag, or your Halloween costume for this fun after-school event that will have music, costumes, candy, and prizes!
