Run for the Arts

Run for the Arts is a jogathon that assists students, teachers and parents in raising money for all TIS art and music supplies. All TIS students take art and music with specialist teachers once or twice per week. Funds raised through Run for the Arts purchase all supplies for those programs.

The International School’s Run for the Arts program is organized by International School parent volunteers in conjunction with the Pacific Northwest’s Run for the Arts non-profit organization. All contributions to Run for the Arts are tax-deductible.

  • The TIS Run for the Arts takes place in late September on the school soccer field. Each class is assigned a run time during the day.
  • Students ask for sponsorships, then collect all funds after the run.
  • Checks should be made payable to “Run for the Arts” or “Young Audiences”, with “TIS” in the memo line.
  • Sponsorship forms and all funds should be brought to the child’s teacher soon after the run. Late returns cannot qualify for t-shirts and prizes (the school must meet a deadline with Young Audiences to get t-shirts and prizes).
  • If you would like to contribute and don’t have a runner to sponsor, please just make your check out to Run for the Arts and send it into the school office at 025 SW Sherman Street, Portland, OR 97201.
  • Thank you!
