Hello, Batfriends! This is the team page for TEAM SUPERWEIRDOS, the fundraising team for my (Sarah Mertan) silly costumed run fundraiser, aka "Batfrog."

We use the TEAM TOTAL to determine the costume level (see below). You are welcome to register for the team and run the 5K with us on Sunday, October 27 at UCLA! (You don't have to wear a costume or even be seen with me. Only I, Sarah, am obligated to dress up like an idiot.) Your registration fee or donation to any member of this team will count toward the Team Total.

Donation Levels

✓ $500: Big Bird sunglasses

✓ $750: Big Bird sunglasses + Big Bird striped socks, plush feet, and gloves

✓ $1000: FULL BIG BIRD - giant Big Bird head + Big Bird striped socks, plush feet, and gloves

Bonus Rounds

✓ $1500: add Radar, Big Bird’s teddy bear

✓ $2000: add the blue shirt that my personal 1990s plush Big Bird wore. And also the plush Big Bird (yes I still have it)

$5000: FULL BIRDFROG - I will somehow find a way to wedge my old Batman cowl over the giant Ernie head

$7500: get video of me in the Big Bird costume eating birdseed (not sunflower seeds. Actual birdseed.)

$10,000: ADD SNUFFLEUPAGUS (please don’t ask how this would work. I do not know.)
