How should my child go out and find sponsorship?
The CWC Hollywood Rainbow Run 2023 should be a fun (and stress-free!) event for the whole family. Here are some creative ways to get your student involved.
Have your student reach out to friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues (in person or via phone or email) to enlist sponsors and spread the word about CWC. It is easy to import contacts from your email server or Facebook using the fundraising site.
Make a short video of your student talking about what they value most about CWC and why it deserves support. There is an easy way to publish the video in the fundraising site and forward it to your contacts.
With permission, set up a table outside a local business to spread the word about CWC and get sponsors. Make posters, display engaging school work - get creative!
The following is a script your child can use to help gather support:
Hello, my name is ________. I am a ______ grader at Citizens of the World Charter School. What I love most about my school is _______. We also have art, music, SEL, and great student led electives.
We’re having a on April 19, 2023 and I would be grateful if you would sponsor me to run or walk laps with my class. Thank you so much!
Parents can support their student’s efforts by sharing the following information about CWC and what makes it unique and worthy of a donation:
*CA schools receive less public funding than many other states.
*CWC is a rare model of a school that is dedicated to creating a diverse community.
*CWC incorporates social emotional learning into its school model without compromising rigorous academic excellence and project-based learning.
*Art, Music, extra P.E., and Multicultural Studies are an important part of the core curriculum, providing a well-rounded and enriched education.
*CWC provides small class sizes
The CWC Hollywood Rainbow Run 2023 is unique in that it offers our students the opportunity to get involved in the fundraising process by garnering sponsors in support of their school.
There is a valuable lesson inherent in the CWC Hollywood Rainbow Run: the things in life we value most are only possible if we dedicate time, effort, thought, and perseverance. Our administration, teaching staff, and parents serve as great examples of the hard work and grit it takes to create and sustain such an incredible school.
What better way for our children to learn firsthand, how they too can exemplify these important qualities and be active participants in supporting CWC.
Can family members join the event?
Caregivers and parents are not required to be at school for the CWC Hollywood Rainbow Run 2023. However, it is a FUN event and families are highly encouraged to come and cheer on the students!
How can I volunteer to help with the Rainbow Run?
The CWC Hollywood Rainbow Run 2023 needs you! There are many volunteer opportunities including the event set up and break down as well as hosting the snack and first aid tables on the big day!

When I try to upload my photo, there is no option to select a browser. What do I do?
This is normally due to the browser type. Please do not use Firefox and instead use Chrome or IE. Safari occasionally has similar issues as well.
I don't remember my password from last year, and I tried to use the password sent to me. What do I do?
Please use the forgot password function here:
https://cwcsupport.rallybound.org/CWCHRAINBOWRUN2023/account/forgotpassword
I have requested to reset my password, but the Forgot Password email has not come. What gives?
It is most likely that the email associated with your students account is not the one you are expecting. It is maybe an old email or a partner/spouse/another guardian. If it needs to be changed to you, please email support at giving@cwclosangeles.org to request a change.
When I upload my photo, it appears sideways. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?
Due to limitations with the software, the image appears sideways when taken with specific versions of mobile devices. If you have an image that is appearing sideways, it is best to use this tool to reposition it, and then re-upload it.

Not optimal, but it's a limitation of the software that is being used
Go to: https://pixlr.com/editor/
Upload the photo by selecting: File > Open, then choose your image.
Once the image appears, select from the top menu, Image> Rotate Canvas 90 CW.
Then save your image and reupload to you child's profile page.
What is my personal page URL?
A personal URL is a shortened link to your team or personal page that you can send to friends and family in emails. A personal URL for Ben Smith will look like this https://cwcsupport.rallybound.org/CWCHRAINBOWRUN2023/bensmith.
Who should I contact if I have a problem or question about setting up my page?
Please contact our support desk at giving@cwclosangeles.org for any CWC Hollywood Rainbow Run related questions.
I have two children, but I can only find one of them on my account.
Both children should be associated with the same login email. When you log in, it will default to one child. To find the other child's profile, click on the Profile icon in the upper right hand corner. You should see a drop-down with both children listed. Email giving@cwclosangeles.org with any questions.
