Who is TEAM NEF?
Members are first-time 5k walkers, long-time half-marathoners, and everyone in between, all walking or running and raising funds for NEF and Naperville 203 schools. You receive a personal fundraising page to share with friends and family to help you raise at least $203*, with half going to the Naperville 203 school of your choice, and half supporting NEF-funded district-wide programs. You can also choose to have all your funds support NEF. Raise funds leading up to race day, then come together on Sunday, October 22, 2023 for a day of fun and fitness with TEAM NEF.
In 2022, TEAM NEF raised more than $60,000 for the students of Naperville 203. These funds help bring great ideas to life, remove barriers to learning, and support each school’s unique community!
* Fundraising commitment is $203 for an individual and $30 for each additional family member. Family members do not all need to run or walk in support of the same school.
