Milton’s Monster Dash to take place Oct. 30

About the Milton Monster Dash & Sam’s Fund

The Milton Monster Dash is organized by the Milton Foundation for Education (MFE), a non-profit organization that funds innovative programs and opportunities for Milton Public School students that are beyond the reach of the Milton Public School’s budget.

All proceeds from the Monster Dash benefit the Sam Cichello Memorial Fund which was created in 1999 in loving memory of Sam Cichello, a Tucker Elementary School student who died following a tragic playground accident.

To honor Sam’s love of science, proceeds from the Monster Dash & Sam’s Fund support science enrichment in all six of Milton’s public schools.

• Tucker Elementary School
• Glover Elementary School
• Cunningham Elementary School
• Collicot Elementary School
• Pierce Middle School
• Milton High School

“In loving memory of Sam Cichello. Supporting Science Enrichment in Milton’s Public Schools.”

Family Discount

We understand that some families are larger than others and we don’t want a family’s size and corresponding registration fee to be the deciding factor in whether they can participate. So, we created a Family Discount.

A Family Discount caps the total registration cost at $75 for families who have up to 6 people participating in either the 5K and/or Kids Fun Ticket. If a family’s total registration cost for all members exceeds $75, they should choose the “Family Discount” option during the very first record entered during their registration session. It doesn’t matter whether family members choose 5K or Kids Fun. To add family members, choose “Add Additional Participant” at the Cost Summary page until all family members are registered.

To take advantage of the Family Discount you will need to choose “Family Discount” at the very beginning of your registration session. Choose Additional Individual to add family members. When all family members have been entered, continue and finalize registration session.

* NOTE * – The Family Discount option is intended to be used for immediate family members only. Please use this feature appropriately.
