One run. A whole school year.

Your support reaches far beyond the finish line.

Unicorn Trot gifts join other PTA revenue in the approved $90,895 year-long plan supporting classrooms, student programs, staff, school events, and the practical work behind them.

One shared plan for Underwood.

The chart shows the PTA’s approved annual expense budget—not the Trot fundraising goal. Support is pooled across this whole-school plan, not preassigned to a single purchase.

One school, one joyful run

Students run. Our community rallies.

On October 23, 2026, Underwood students ran lap after lap with their classmates in a colorful, high-energy celebration. Families and friends rallied around them, helping Underwood PTA support the school throughout the year.

Running through color · 2025 Unicorn Trot

A fun color run

Children run with their classmates and keep going lap after lap. Donations are one-time gifts chosen by supporters—not per-lap bills or pledges.

Support that lasts all year

Unicorn Trot gifts help make the PTA’s year-round work possible, including classroom supplies, media-center books and technology, arts enrichment, school improvements, Science Olympiad, and support for critical student needs.
