Hirsch's biggest fundraiser returns this October! Last year, Bulldog Nation raised $23,406 for our students. Registration and pledge details are announced in August.
Every runner, donor, and volunteer made the 2025–26 Bulldog Jog our best yet. Here's what we accomplished together.
Those dollars are already at work — funding classroom supplies, field trips, assemblies, and the programs your kids will enjoy all year.
Simple, fun, and impactful — here's how every Bulldog Jog comes together.
Students ask family, friends, and neighbors to sponsor them per lap or with a flat donation through CheddarUp's secure platform.
Every student runs as many laps as they can around the school track in a festive, music-filled event — a true Hirsch community celebration.
100% of proceeds stay at Hirsch — funding the programs, supplies, and events that make a Hirsch education exceptional.
Registration and pledge pages open in August 2026 — watch the calendar, the WhatsApp community, and the Back-to-School packet for the official date.
You don't have to wait for run day — every dollar given today goes directly to Hirsch programs and classrooms.
